'Another' means one more, or a different single thing, and is always singular — 'have another cup,' 'try another way.' 'Other' is used with plurals or with 'the' — 'other people,' 'the other side.' Remember that 'another' is really 'an other,' so it works only with single countable nouns.

It is written as one word: 'another.' Although it comes from 'an other,' the two fused long ago and the two-word spelling is now considered an error. Always write it closed up, whether it means 'one more' — 'another slice' — or 'a different one' — 'another route.'

'Would you like another biscuit?' offers one more in addition to those already eaten. 'Let's meet another day' points to a different day instead. Both uses share the idea of an extra or alternative item, always singular and paired with a countable noun.
