dilemma / quandary
Both of these words are used for complicated and problematic situations, but there
is a small difference between them.
A quandary is when you don't know what to do; you are in a state of uncertainty. A
dilemma is a situation where you have to choose between options that all seem bad
in some way.
Basically, a quandary is more general. In a quandary, you might not know or be able
to identify the specific choices available... and although the situation is difficult,
there might still be a good way to resolve it. The issue of illegal immigration in the
United States is a quandary, because there are many different factors that make it
problematic, and a solution is not clear.
