Ways to tell them apart:

The key difference is in the spelling: summery has an e and is related to summer, while summary has an a and refers to a condensed version of something.
Remember that summery is like summer, bringing to mind warmth and sunshine.
Summary ends like primary, which you might associate with primary details or highlights.
Think of ‘summery’ with an extra ‘E’ for ‘environment’ because it concerns the summer environment or atmosphere.
‘Summary’ is more factual and structured, focusing on the essence of a discussion or text.
