The abbreviation LOL means Laugh Out Loud/Laughing Out Loud or Leauge Of Legends. It is used if you are LVH(Laughing Very Hard) and it is to express your feelings. On the other hand, LOL is a game. Leauge Of Legends. Don't thank me, TY! Also YW!

a word some people say out loud like 'lol' but they say it as a word, not a 'short for saying' so literally nobody understands them
'lol', 'Tom what are you doing?'

lol (or LOL) is an acronym for "Little Old Lick" which means "I lick little kids" and is extremely inappropriate, and you should not use it in a sentence at all.
