They are all synonyms that are interchangeable. I typically find that “weird” has the most negative connotation, while strange has the most positive connotation.

@lamprosgrapsas02 also synonymous to Strang and weird. Odd is probably less used, though. Odd is used when something appears different than expected. E.g. The layout of the bathroom was odd.
Really, you could get away with any of these three words in any application- I like “strange” the most. Weird sounds like you are rudely judging in my opinion.
