Здравствуйте! Использовать - the most popular, "to use".🏕 Применить - it's like to use for the specific purpose.🏗🧱 Употребить - it's like to consume, to eat.🎁

I'm not a native speaker, but other words with similar roots can be helpful: Потребитель...consumer Потребительское общество...consumer society Потреблять...to use, but more by way of consumption Применение...application, i.e. different use cases, automotive applications, metallurgical applications, etc. Применить...to use, by way of applying smth/implementing smth
