Basic question. I have a domain already. I set the name servers on my domain service to cloudflare. Can I set up wordpress on a cloudflare plan directly? Im kind of confused if I need a separate hosting service AND cloudflare? Searches have given me completely different answers.
Also if this is possible to do, is it difficult? Any help is appreciated!

You need web hosting. CloudFlare is a CDN and name server which points your domain name to your web server. CloudFlare is not a web host. Consider it a multi-service middleman that provides DNS, caching and performance options, as well as security (WAF) for your site.
No, you’ll need a hosting plan. CloudFlare does offer a static site hosting feature called “Pages” which could be used to host a static WordPress site but I doubt that is what you want.
Check /r/webhosting for recommendations.
I know you have your domain already, but you may want to consider using cloudflare for your domains in the future. Their pricing is great (less than $10/yr for *.com), free domain privacy, and of course easy set-up for their CDN services. I just recently started moving some of my domains over from Google domains to cloudflare.
