Is there some nuance between anyone and anybody?

Question

I've always used them interchangeably according to my mood.

But are there any rare cases where they aren't interchangeable or have a slightly different meaning?

Anyone and anybody have no difference in meaning. Anybody is a little less formal than anyone. Anyone is used more in writing than anybody.

yes, I think you could say the same about those three word pairs. – Mixolydian Mar 11 '19 at 18:57
