The choice between everyday, one word, and every day, two words, depends on how it’s used.
Everyday, one word, is an ADJECTIVE meaning “used or seen daily,” or “ordinary.”
Every day, two words, is an ADVERB phrase meaning “daily” or “every weekday.”
One trick to remember which is which is to see if you can put another word between “every” and “day,” as in “every single day.” If you can, you want the two-word adverb.
