"try everything-wise"???
Lindsey: So, I guess, how do you like it here? Emma told me that you used to live in Arizona, and from what I know Arizona and Maryland are totally different climate-wise.
Christy: haha, try everything-wise. I can’t believe how green it is here all the time, and cold!
What does "try everything-wise" mean in this dialogue?

The "-wise" suffix is a very useful thing to learn! It means "in the manner of", or "regarding", or even "direction".

Lindsey says Arizona and Maryland are different in regards to the climate. Christy says everything is different. :)
"Try everything-wise." means "You should say, different in every way!" Native speakers often use the phrase "Try ____" when correcting someone else's opinion.

She is saying that her personality is that she'll "try everything" - meaning that she's willing to live in any climate. She is expressing herself in a playful funny way by responding to the other person's "climate-wise" in this way.
