Anymore vs. Any More: What's the Difference?
Quick Answer
anymore = adverb meaning "no longer" / "any longer"
any more = determiner phrase meaning an additional quantity

ANYMORE (one word, adverb)
Means "no longer" — used with negatives/questions
"I don't eat meat anymore."
"Does she work here anymore?"
ANY MORE (two words)
Means an additional quantity of something
