I went through all 15k posts and those 2 quotes I found were the only ones so I guess that would make it "everytime".  Feel free to go through all 15k posts and verify by quoting them all.  You need to quote them all to verifying prove "everytime".   Please verify that Im wrong.

"Than" is used in comparing things, e.g. Granny apples are more sour than Harelson apples.

"Then" involves a time period, e.g. After they've taken off, then we'll go clubbing.

Here's a worksheet that gives us lots of practices on their uses. Answers are below the worksheet. Great examples of their differences.

The real villain is looking at you.  The last hero was just not true.  If everything works out in the end.  It's because all things make amends.

Show us their uses in sentences so we know their differences.

You should show us how you use them in sentences in order for us to tell if you have them right or not.

Kind of like "How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

Right, "really"??  ;D

one ends in -en and one ends in -an...Don't even sound alike... ;D

When we arrived to the U.S. in the 70s, the English words that I struggle to learn and understand most are homonym and homophone words... :-\
