the difference between 恨めしい and 憎らしい
You could have used a better dictionary. There are better free online ones
like デジタル大辞泉. But here's what 明鏡国語辞典 says:

> ### 恨めしい
>
> ①ひどい仕打ち（をした相手）に、怒りや憎しみや不満などを感じる。恨みたくなる気持ちだ。「裏切られたことが━」「一方的な解雇を━・く思う」
>
> ②思い通りにならなくて、残念だ。「足が痛くて歩けないのが━」「己おのれの軽率さ［無情の雨］が━」「恨めしそうに雨天の空を仰ぐ」

One meaning of 恨めしい is like "vengeful". It's a strong word used after someone
has been badly affected by someone. Stereotypical Japanese ghosts
([幽霊](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C5%ABrei)) use this word often. See
also: [Translation of うらめしや](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/54065/5010)

憎らしい is like "odious" or "hateful", and is used in a wider variety of
situations. Basically it's an antonym of "lovable". You can safely say
憎らしい笑い方だ when you saw someone for the first time on TV. You can jokingly
praise someone like 憎らしいほどに強い "He's so strong I almost hate him".
