"Impossible" is the strongest — it means "cannot be done."
Ranking (from least to most strong): easy < difficult ≈ hard < impossible.
Notes:
- "Difficult" and "hard" are roughly equivalent; "hard" is slightly more emphatic/informal.
- Use "difficult" for formal writing, "hard" in speech.
Examples:
- "That task is difficult." (challenging but doable)
- "That task is hard." (a bit stronger, more forceful)
- "That task is impossible." (cannot be done)
