2.“For what it’s worth”
This is when whoever’s speaking is not sure wheater what they are about to say, and it will be helpful.

(Implying: 无论如何我很喜欢,不管你什么意见)
3. For all sb is worth
put in maxmum effort(个人理解“洪荒之力”)

4. worth the try=worth a shot
Means that worth trying but it didn’t work out. Also being used before you try something.
