Explanation
The tilde distinguishes stressed words from their unstressed twins: tú tienes tu llave; sí, si querés; sé que se fue. Question/exclamation words keep it even embedded: no sé dónde está.
Post-2010 reform: solo and the demonstrative pronouns (este, ese, aquel) no longer require it; ó between numbers is gone (2 o 3).
Examples
