Every tile after the first must either touch or overlay an already placed tile. After the fourth tile has been placed the player must take an already placed tile an replay it on the game area still touching or overlaying already placed tiles. The tile replayed cannot be the last tile placed by the opponent. The tile replayed doesn't have to be free, when it is taken.
