We talk about the differences between words — however many words there are.


between prep
  • at a point or in a region intermediate to two other points in space, times, degrees, etc
  • in combination; together: between them, they saved enough money to buy a car
  • confined or restricted to: between you and me
  • indicating a reciprocal relation or comparison
  • indicating two or more alternatives

(Collins)



As bhai said, 'tyro' is uncommon. There's little difference between the other two.
