The word then can be a conjunction, and also an adverb (and hyphenated as an adjective).
The word than is also a conjunction, used as a comparative. Arguably, it serves as a preposition where there the understood verb is missing. (He is taller than I, or He is taller than me)
Confusion can occur in sentences using sooner...than (e.g. He had no sooner entered the house than a quarrel erupted). Sooner does not pair with then.
