A screw with fewer threads has a larger distance between each thread, which reduces the friction and resistance encountered when driving it into wood. This design allows for easier penetration as there is less material being displaced with each turn of the screw. Additionally, fewer threads mean that the screw can be driven in more quickly, making it easier for the user to apply force effectively. Overall, this simplifies the process of fastening the screw into the wood.

It is easier. The question is not complete enough to be answered. The word EASIER needs to be further defined. so the question should read: What is easier to [add information here]; more screw threads or less screw threads?
A worm drive.
a screw with closely spread threads
the threads determine the depth the screw should move
Bigger threads would make a sheet metal screw or wood screw bite in better, but it would make it harder to turn. A machine screw would need a nut with matching threads, but there wouldn't be much of an advantage.
A screw that screws into a screw works by using its threads to grip onto the existing screw and create a secure connection. The threads on the screw being inserted match the threads on the existing screw, allowing them to twist together and hold in place.
The pitch distance of a screw, which is the distance between adjacent threads, directly affects how many turns are required to drive the screw into a material like wood. A screw with a finer pitch (smaller distance between threads) will require more turns to achieve the same depth compared to a coarser pitch screw. Additionally, finer pitch screws often require more effort to turn, as the threads grip the material more tightly, making it harder to drive the screw in. Conversely, coarser pitch screws allow for quicker insertion with less effort per turn.
screw thread are single threads which means they are not double
A screw is a fastener that is similar to a nail, but it has threads.
The hole that you put a screw into is referred to as a "tapped hole". The rib-like things in the hole are called "threads" or, more specifically, "internal threads" as opposed to the external threads on a screw.
