用法筆記

Difficultness is far less common than difficulty in everyday English. For most contexts — especially spoken language — use difficulty instead (e.g. 'the difficulty of the exam' not 'the difficultness of the exam'). Difficultness appears mainly in technical writing or when the speaker wants to emphasise the abstract quality rather than a specific problem.

Avoid pairing difficultness with degree adjectives (high, low); use a simpler sentence structure instead.
