Swapping tiles is an option that you have each turn in Scrabble. Instead of making a word, you can choose letters in your hand that you don't want, and trade them for mystery tiles that are still available. Of course, you won't get any points that way, and so making a low-scoring word that gets rid of some of your unwanted tiles is sometimes a better option. If you can't make any words though, then swapping is the best choice.

1. Yes, Scrabble tiles can be exchanged during game play, but the player exchanging the tile (s) will lose their turn in placing a word on the board.

When you swap tiles in Scrabble do you pick your new tiles before or after you miss a turn?

Technically, it is before you miss your turn. Your turn consists of moving tiles. You either play the tiles on the game board or exchange for new tiles. After you have completed replacing the missing tiles, you turn ends. A third alternative is simply to pass and not move any tiles.
