Everyday and every day are commonly confused in English. There's no difference in pronunciation, but using the wrong one when writing is a mistake in the everyday English you use every day.
 

Everyday

Everyday is an adjective that means commonplace, ordinary, or normal.

These shoes are great for everyday wear

You shouldn't wear an everyday outfit to the wedding

Don't use the everyday dishes - it's a special occasion

 
Every day

Every day means "each day."

I go to the park every day

I have to work every day this week except Friday

Every day I feel a little better

 
The Bottom Line

Everyday is a single word and is an adjective, so it's the one that is used in front of a noun to describe something as normal or commonplace. Every day is an adjective (every) plus a noun (day), and it means each day.
