EVERYTIME VS ANYTIME

Anytime = you choose the time,

Everytime = must be done each time


Each word can be split into "any time" and "every time" if that makes it more clear.
"Every time" is sometimes made even more clear by stating it as "each and every time".

Examples:
You can call him any time, night or day.
He promised to answer the phone every time it rings.

1)) So, "anytime" means that when (date, time of day) the action takes place is not important.

2)) Everytime indcates that one thing must follow another - it indicates a rule connecting the occurrence of something that is supposed to be done each and every time that something else happens.
