Better yet

Better still
Often the terms “better yet” and “better still” are the same and can be used interchangeably as long as the meaning is to indicate that you are about to mention something “better” than what you previously mentioned. However, when using “yet” as part of a question such as, “Is she better yet?” then you cannot replace the “yet” with “still.”
