So, what are today's Quordle answers for game #497?

I won't make you wait any longer — here you go:

Today's Quordle answers took me to the edge, no thanks to a very common word structure that ate up a few guesses. I ended the game with a score of 3-4-8-9. As usual, I began with two of the best Wordle start words, RAISE and COUNT, since they contain all five vowels and five of the most common consonants. The puzzle in the upper right corner really tripped me up; I probably should've guessed a word with several different letters.

What else should I know about Quordle?

Quordle is one of the many Wordle clones to have arrived in the wake of Wordle's huge success. It's essentially the same game, but you play four versions of it simultaneously and have nine attempts to guess all the answers.

The letters behave as they do in Wordle, turning green if they're in the right place, yellow if they're in the word but in the wrong location, and gray if they're not included in the answer at all.

A nice extra is that though there's only set puzzle per day, a practice mode is also included. And you might well need it, because it's pretty difficult.

If Quordle is too tough for you, you might prefer something in our list of the best Wordle alternatives, but if you want an even more stressful test then we'd recommend either Squabble or Octordle.

We also like the new Heardle, which is like Wordle for pop music, plus the geography-based Wordle clone Worldle, the Star Wars-themed SWordle and the math-based Mathler, among others.

But the original is still the best, so don't forget to also check our the best Wordle start words and to look at today's Wordle answer if you won't get a chance to play.

Here are five questions in the aftermath of the release of the Bills’ schedule Thursday:

Q: Is the bye in a good spot?

A: Josh Allen said this week that the placement of the bye is among the first thing that players check when the schedule is released.

The Bills could have taken the bye after their game in London in Week 5, according to league policy for teams that travel for international games. They opted against that, and ended up with a late Week 13 bye in the first week of December.

The bye comes in between two huge road games against the Super Bowl participants. The Bills visit Philadelphia for a Sunday afternoon game on Thanksgiving weekend against the Eagles before the bye and then get two weeks to prepare for yet another trip to Kansas City, on Dec. 10 in Week 14.

Much like his mentor Andy Reid, Bills coach Sean McDermott has become a master post-bye with a 6-0 record, though he would need to beat Reid to make it 7-0. However, the Bills have struggled heading into the bye under McDermott.

Q: Why not another Thursday night opener?

A: The Bills began last season at the Super Bowl champions, beating the Los Angeles Rams on the opening Thursday night at SoFi Stadium.

This year, the Detroit Lions will head to Arrowhead Stadium for the opener against the champion Chiefs.

The league opted against Bills-Chiefs or Bengals-Chiefs, figuring that was an “asset” that they could deploy later in the season. The season-opening game will have massive viewership regardless of who is playing.

“Cincinnati or Buffalo obviously would’ve been great,” NFL VP of broadcast planning Mike North told SI’s Albert Breer on Thursday. “You gotta figure those are three of the best teams in that conference right now, so it stands to reason that they’re gonna be playing for something down the stretch. So, those games are gonna be relevant. Not that they wouldn’t be in Week 1, but they’ll only get more interesting the later you wait to deploy them. I hope we didn’t wait too long – Buffalo-K.C. is in December; Cincinnati-K.C. is on New Year’s Eve. But if you had to guess who’s gonna be playing for something in Week 17, I think Bengals-Chiefs is a safe bet.”

Q: Remember those Sunday games at 1 o’clock? What happened to them?

A: Well, first, the Bills got better and became a national television draw with an elite quarterback in Josh Allen.

Second, we are a long way from the days of just one prime-time game a week. The league has many spots to fill and has to make its television partners happy.

The Bills actually go nine consecutive games without a 1 p.m. Sunday start in 2023. They play at New England in Week 7 and then don’t play again at that time until the second meeting with the Patriots on New Year’s Eve in Week 17.

The Bills have five games scheduled for Sundays at 1 p.m., with three coming in the first four weeks of the season.

A: The Bills and Chargers will play the league’s first Peacock exclusive game on Dec. 23, according to SI. However, as is the case, the game will be shown on an over the air network in the home market. WGRZ, being an NBC station, seems to make the most sense.

Peacock is NBC’s streaming platform, a place to watch the WWE Network, reruns of "The Office" and the entire catalogue of "Law & Order" and its related spinoffs (in case those weren’t on cable enough).

You can get a subscription for $4.99 a month. Could be a lot of Bills fans who sign up for 30 days and then cancel.

Q: What does the Monday night opener mean for the start of training camp?

A: Based on the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the players association, teams that open the season with a Monday night game can report to training camp 48 days prior to the game. For the Bills, that would mean a report date of July 25 to St. John Fisher College.

Pexels.com

Across the entire industry, the American Association of Publishers found, digital audiobook revenue rose 32.1% in 2018's first quarter. It's the continuation of a well-documented trend: Audiobook sales grew around 20% year over year across the first eight months of 2017, according to AAP data. Audiobooks now earn publishers more than mass market paperbacks — even as ebook sales fell 3.2% in 2018's first quarter.

In short, digital audiobooks are helping keep the publishing industry afloat in the first quarter of 2018. The news makes the audiobook format just the latest in a handful of formats and gimmicks that have helped publishers' revenue hold steady over the past several years.

HarperCollins saw downloadable audio constitute 25% of all digital revenue in the first quarter, which rose 5% year-over-year in 2018. Simon & Schuster CEO Carolyn Reidy recently cited digital audio as a revenue driver, too, saying it rose an impressive 43% in Q1 2018, Publishers Weekly reports. The rise of audiobooks goes hand in hand with the publishing industry's successes in the podcasting world, from Macmillian's Steal the Stars to Marvel Entertainment's Wolverine: The Long Night.

The problem with gimmicks and bestsellers is that they inevitably lose their appeal, forcing major players in the publishing industry to find the next trend, or suffer the consequences. "The decline in coloring books, artist supplies and last year’s best-selling album by Adele," one 2017 Barnes and Noble press release states, "collectively accounted for nearly one-third of the sales decline" in the third quarter of that year.

What leads to the inevitable death of each industry-stabilizing trend and will it affect audiobooks? After all, audiobooks are a sturdy format, bolstered by the strength of technological innovations like voice assistants. The popularity of audiobooks is unlikely to die down any time soon. However, that doesn't mean book publishers will be the ones profiting from it. Amazon's newfound interest in audiobooks — heralded by a Wall Street Journal article highlighting the connection between Amazon's disruption of print titles and its interest in audio — indicates the retail giant may take the lion's share of future profits.

Publishers rarely find the next trend so much as stumble upon it: Often their best guess for the next popular format is a cloned version of the last one, like the publishers who hoped connect-the-dots books would follow coloring books in popularity, or those hoping VR and AR books will surpass audiobooks.

Regardless of what's next, the industry's formidable churn rate is the main concern: Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman — along with that handy coloring book craze — may have given print book sales a 2% boost in 2015, but it's a short-term solution that required another solution next year. The solution for 2018 appears to be audiobooks.

1. Check their breathing by tilting their head back and looking and feeling for breaths.

When a person is unresponsive, their muscles relax and their tongue can block their airway so they can no longer breathe. Tilting their head back opens the airway by pulling the tongue forward.

If they are breathing, you will see their chest moving and you may hear their breath or feel it on your cheek.

If they are breathing, move on to step two.

Find out what to do if they are not breathing.
