What's the difference between
affect and effect?
The dictionary isn't helping me.
It's making me more confused.

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
affect is present tense and effect is past tense

Just to add an example which might clarify things:
"It affected him badly" (verb)
"It had A bad effect on him" (noun- hence the use of 'a')
Hope that helps!

Russianspy explained it clearly...I guess you just have to keep in mind which one's the verb, which one's the noun.

effect is a noun
affect is a verb
they stem from the same meaning so, an effect affects something
