‘That’s the only possible solution.’ ‘Yes, I suppose so,’ Charles conceded/admitted

conceded has been written here on default.

What's the difference between these two?
What meaning does each word has? I've tried to look up in a dictionary, but the words' explanations are confusing to me. They are very similar and I can't completely get the difference.

In that context there is no difference of meaning. Say: 'What difference does each word have?'.

What difference they have beyond this example? I guess concede carries the meaning of giving up, or something. For example: 2 persons are arguing and either of them says: all right dude, I concede you are right.

Is it correct to think this way?

Yes, in the context you gave, "concede" would suggest that one party has given up trying to convince the other.

Admit has other meanings like you got admitted to a college. You can't use concede there.
