Keyword difficulty means taking time to optimise your keywords over search engines when you go for keyword research. You should do good keyword research on those that have low competitors. If you select highly competitive keywords, then it will take more time to optimize.

Simply way to describe Keyword difficulty is how many other websites are listed for the keyword in search results. If their are hundreds of millions of websites than the keyword difficulty is very high.

Example would be iphone apple will always rank number 1 than big companies that sell them will fill out the rest of results. If you use long tail keywords or search terms you might find one you can get listed for.
