 * Hi [@nightdark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nightdark/),
    I’m curious
   on why a php solution wouldn’t fit your needs.
 * That said, you can try the following:
 *     ```
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule .* index.php [R=301]
       ```
   
 * Found here:

 * Hope this helps.
    Cheers

 * Actually, that .htaccess code will cause all posts that use permalinks to fail
   and go to the main blog page instead, because those permalinks don’t physically
   exist as files or directories.
 * So, WordPress actually needs to intercept requests that would normally generate
   a 404 first to see if they exist as a post with a certain permalink and then 
   throw out a 404 response if it doesn’t exist.
