Ironically, we do not manufacture guns or dangerous drugs. However, we seem to be the victims

Парадоксально, что, хотя мы не производим оружия или опасных наркотиков, тем не менее, мы становимся жертвами своего собственного географического положения, когда эти два элемента в сочетании с преступностью превращаются в новую модель эксплуатации, при которой наши молодые люди в силу своей неискушенности и пыла становятся главными жертвами эксплуатации со стороны международных и, к сожалению, недобросовестных региональных<< деловых людей>> в их стремлении к лучшему миру.

Here’s today’s Wordle solution plus a helpful hint.
In Pictures via Getty Images
It’s already May 10th, which means we’re just about 40 days from the start of summer (and my birthday—yikes!)
On this day in history, some pretty big and important—and sometimes awful—things happened. Here are a few:
- Back in 1503, the most famous colonizer of them all, Christopher Columbus, discovered the Cayman Islands. 31 years later, French navigator Jacques Cartier reached Newfoundland (which is an awesome place to travel, by the way).
- In 1634, Essex County, Massachusetts was founded—home to the town of Salem, where the infamous witch trials took place just 51 years later.
- In 1774, Louis XVI was crowned king of France. Just one year later, the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia appointed George Washington as Supreme Commander. Not long after these men would become allies against the British.
- On this day in 1865, Confederate President Jefferson Davis was captured by Union troops in Georgia.
- Seven years later, Victoria Woodhull became the first woman to be nominated for the president of the US by the Equal Rights Party in New York City.
- In 1877, president Rutherford B. Hayes had the very first telephone installed in the White House. Technology!
- The notorious and controversial J. Edgar Hoover was appointed head of the FBI on this day in 1924. Hoover remained head of the FBI for 48 years until his death on May 2nd, 1972.
- On this day in 1940, Hitler’s forces invaded Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France, kicking WWII into high gear and showing the world that the Nazi menace was a very clear and present danger.
Anyways, that’s a lot of stuff! I’ll stop there because this is a Wordle post, not a “what happened on this day?” post! I just thought it would be fun to look up some historical events for something different. Let’s get to today’s Wordle!
Today’s Wordle #325 Answer & Hint
Spoilers, obviously. You’ve been warned.
Here’s your hint: “The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind.”
And the answer is . . . .
Wordle #325 answer

This is a pretty tricky word! I know I was feeling pretty stumped for a while on this one.
In a lot of ways, it’s ironic that I got the ‘C’ in green on my first guess. There are lots of words with a ‘C’ in spot three like that, but not a ton I can easily think of off the top of my head. And yet, bacon just happened to do the trick.
I chose bacon because I just made myself a BLT for dinner tonight—I toasted the sandwich in bacon grease which was delicious—so obviously I had bacon on my mind and it was a pretty good guess.
I figured niche made sense for guess #2 because if nothing else it would eliminate more letters, though it didn’t help me figure out where the ‘O’ went. Trump was not my first choice for guess #3. I actually thought of “trunk” and “truck” first but both used letters I’d already guessed, so trump it was, and trump was a big fat zero.
I knew lacey wouldn’t work because of the ‘A’ but I wanted to see if the ‘E’ went in that spot and whether there was a ‘Y’ in the word. At this point, I now still knew very little but I’d eliminated a ton of letters and it was just a matter of juggling what I knew with what I had left. Eventually gecko came to me as I started toying around with the ‘O’ in the final position.
Great word! And, I must say, a pretty great hint. Sure, Gordon Gekko doesn’t spell his name like the lizard, but it’s close enough!
Be well, dearest Wordlers! See you on the flipside!
P.S. Wordle Bot was very rude about this one, saying that after ‘niche’ I only had “one possible solution” while also noting that ‘locus’ would have been a better guess than ‘niche.’ But wouldn’t ‘locus’ be another possible solution? And if it’s not simply because it’s not on the solution list, well how are we supposed to know that?
Whatever, Wordle Bot is a jerk and he can go jump off a cliff, the jerky jerk face.
P.S.
Something is amiss. The Wordle answers have branched. Yesterday, some players got ‘fetus’ instead of ‘shine’ and today some players got ‘butch’ instead of ‘gecko’—probably because when the New York Times removed ‘fetus’ due to recent political stuff, it didn’t work quite right and has thrown Wordle into a kind of multiverse of madness. We shall see what tomorrow brings.
But yeah, if ‘gecko’ doesn’t work for you today, it’s probably ‘butch.’ Very weird!

Hey there I’m Emma from mmmEnglish and in today’s lesson, we’re gonna look at this small but very important word and we’re gonna learn twelve better ways to say but. Well, maybe not better but definitely different and definitely more interesting.
But is an incredibly useful word and we use it a lot in English. But if you want to bring your English up to the next level and you want to expand your vocabulary, learning some alternative words and some expressions to use instead of but is an excellent way to do it.
So are you ready to stop saying but?
Let’s dive in.
Let me start by saying that there is absolutely nothing wrong with using but. English speakers use but all the time but by adding some variety to your vocabulary and expanding the range of English words that you use regularly will help you to sound less repetitive, less robotic when you’re speaking. Plus it’s fun to try new things.
Hey ladies! Do you want to practise English in real conversations with really lovely speaking partners?
Stop watching lessons at home on your own and come join us at Hey Lady! Hey Lady! is an online community for women. We’ll help you to meet new speaking partners and practise real conversations in English.
We offer a free trial so that you can experience everything on offer in a full membership and it’s free for ten days. I’ve put the link down in the description below so that you can start your free trial today.
In this lesson, I’m gonna start with the most casual words and phrases that you can use instead of but. But as we go further through the lesson they’re going to get a little more formal and perhaps there’ll be some new ones that you’re not super familiar with.
I’m going to use this little scale down here to help explain how formal or how informal something is. The scale’s out of five with one being the most informal and five being the most formal.
Though
Nevertheless
Though, for example, is really quite casual but nevertheless is really quite formal.
We can use though and although instead of but to show contrast.
- I wanted an ice cream but I didn’t have any money.
- I wanted an ice cream though I didn’t have any money.
Both though and although are more flexible than but because they can go in the middle of the sentence like we see here or at the beginning of our sentence like this.
- Although I didn’t have any money, I wanted an ice cream.
Though can even go right at the very end.
- I wanted an ice cream, I didn’t have any money though.
In spoken English though is more common than although.
Although
Although is slightly more formal.
Actually I want to talk specifically about though especially when it comes at the end of the sentence because it is so common in spoken English.
You’ve probably heard it before and maybe you’ve wondered what on earth it meant or maybe you thought it was one of those things that native speakers say even though it’s not proper grammar.
It is though! It is proper grammar.
Having though at the end of a sentence like this indicates a contrast or an opposing idea in exactly the same way as we use but.
You thought it wasn’t proper grammar but it is or: It is though.
That said
Here’s a good one! We can use the phrase that said when we speak and we use it to add an opinion that contrasts something that has just been said.
- I like working from home. That said, I miss socialising in the office.
We can use the adverb however in the same way but however is slightly more formal and we can use it in both written English and spoken English. That said is mainly used in spoken English.
- I like working from home however I miss socialising in the office.
However’s position in the sentence is a little bit more flexible. We can put it at the beginning of our sentence between the subject and a verb or at the end of a sentence as well.
On the one hand / On the other hand
I wonder if you know this one.
On the one hand and on the other hand is a two-part phrase and it shows the difference between points of view or different facts.
- On the one hand, I’d like to earn more money.
- On the other hand, I don’t want to work 40 hours a week.
You may hear just the second part of this expression used particularly in spoken English, it’s really common for native speakers just to drop the first part and then say on the other hand, as they mentioned the alternative fact, the different fact.
You’ll also commonly hear and or but added as well. It just helps the sentence to flow better and to sound a little bit more natural.
- I’d like to earn more money but on the other hand, I don’t want to work a 40-hour week.
Yet
Now things are starting to get a little more formal.
Yet is another alternative to but. It’s a linking word just like but. We use it in exactly the same way.
- A corkscrew is a simple yet effective tool.
Just like but, yet can link two sentences, two clauses or two words of the same grammatical type together. So two adjectives, two nouns or two sentences as long as they’re the same type. And that’s why you’ll always find but and yet in the middle of a sentence.
- The cafe was busy yet calm.
Yet is definitely more formal than but, we use it to draw attention to something, an interesting fact or maybe an observation and because it’s a little less common than but, it’s gonna help you to sound a little more formal while you’re speaking or you’re writing.
Conversely
Conversely. Is that new for you? Conversely means in an opposite way. We can use it to introduce a statement that is the opposite of what we’ve just said.
- In 2020 parts of Australia experienced terrible bushfires. Conversely, those same areas are now experiencing flooding.
Conversely can be quite formal and so it’s often used in written English, not usually spoken.
Nevertheless
Nevertheless is a much more formal way of saying but. Can you say it with me? Nevertheless.
It’s used in writing and especially in academic English. It would probably sound a little bit strange if you just slipped that into an everyday conversation with someone, your neighbour for example.
Nevertheless is an adverb so we can place it in a few different parts of our English sentences. It can come at the beginning of a clause.
- We had a tiny chance of winning that match. Nevertheless, the loss was still disappointing.
Or we can put it at the end of a sentence.
- We had a tiny chance of winning that match. The loss was disappointing nevertheless.
Sometimes we use but not to exclude something or not include it.
- The library is open daily but not Sundays.
So the library is open every day excluding Sunday.
So when this is the case, we can replace but not with a number of different expressions and we’re going to focus on those now.
- Except for
- Apart from
- Excluding
- Bar
Except for
Apart from
Except for and apart from are definitely less formal and they’re quite neutral as well. You can use them in both formal and informal situations.
- I’ve just finished all the presentation slides except for the last two.
Bar
Bar, on the other hand, is the most formal. You would probably use it at a work setting, you know in a professional context or perhaps informal or academic writing.
Have you heard of this word before? Have you heard it used in this way?
- I finished all the presentation slides bar the last two.
So that’s it! Twelve alternatives to but. But is so common in English and it means that learning some of these alternatives will really help you to step up your conversation skills.
