The precise word eludes me, but I remember that it appeared in the context of a sentence similar to this one:

That is a valid choice, but in making it, you will create unintended side-effects; _________, you will need to choose wisely.

I am sure it is not any of these three words/phrases:

  • consequently
  • as well
  • furthermore

  • Hello, and welcome to English Language & Usage. I made some minor wording and formatting changes to your question to make its meaning (as I understand it) a bit clearer. If the changes have not improved the question, in your opinion, you can easily roll the edited version back to your original wording. Thanks!

"Accordingly" would work as well, although you may dislike having two words ending in -ly. The same objection of euphony applies to your own "consequently", which you are rejecting, although otherwise it seems to me perfectly okay in that blank.
