To lay tile on a wood floor, first ensure the wood is stable and level. Apply a layer of cement backer board over the wood to create a sturdy surface for the tile. Use thin-set mortar to adhere the tiles to the backer board, spacing them evenly. Once the tiles are set, apply grout between them and seal the grout lines for a finished look.

Yes, if you want uneven and broken tile. You should level the floor first.
If you are installing a floating laminate floor, you can easily put it right over the tile.
You can put the newer style floating wood floors onto a floor with tile. Also, if it is old VCT tile, there are glues that will allow you to use their product to glue the wood to the floor. Unfortunately, nail down wood is not acceptable.

I will not explain exactly how to tile but i will tell you that your floor has to be very flat, an 18" tile is harder to install when there are crowns in floor they are not as forgiving as a 12 or 13" tile and you will have unacceptable lippage in your 18" tile, for installing go to john bridges website.

You must make the measurements that you need to lay the tile, then lay out the tiles on the floor to help familiarize yourself with the pattern you are going to be working with. Lay your grouting adhesive and then finally the tiles.
To replace floor tile, you will need to remove the old tile, prepare the surface, apply adhesive, lay the new tile, and grout the joints. Make sure to measure and cut the tiles accurately and allow time for the adhesive and grout to dry before using the floor.
