xQc makes swift exit from Wordle as answer hits close to ex-GF Adept's name
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A trending clip featuring popular Twitch and Kick streamer Felix "xQc" is making waves on Reddit and X.
In the clip, xQc is seen abruptly quitting Wordle, citing discomfort with the answer's similarity to the name of his former partner, Sam "Adept" or Adeptthebest.
The duo's public breakup last year became a major talking point, with their legal separation sparking online speculation.
xQ and Adept had an on-and-off relationship for years, and the breakup escalated during a livestream discussion. The aftermath included legal complications, with one side asserting that the two were married.
Clearly, xQc's recent action reflects his aversion to revisiting memories associated with the tumultuous separation.
Here's what happened during xQc's recent livestream
In the world of Twitch, where popular streaming communities often share inside jokes, trolling creators with such humor is a common occurrence.
For xQc, the fallout from his public breakup and ongoing legal battle with Adept has become a sensitive topic, making it a prime target for viewer trolling.
On December 3rd, when users discovered that the New York Times Wordle answer was "Adapt," a play on his former partner Adept's name, they urged xQc to play the game.
Viewers shared that convincing him to participate wasn't easy; it reportedly took a $5 donation to finally get him to acknowledge the playful trolling associated with the game.
Succumbing to the persistent pressure from his chat, the streamer eventually yielded and initiated a game of Wordle.
On his third attempt, guessing "adopt," xQc caught on to the trolling and closed the page in evident exasperation.
However, the streamer quickly lightened up, commending the chat for the clever ruse. He fake-laughed while playfully staring at the camera, acknowledging the entertaining banter with his viewers.
Despite his initial discomfort, it was evident from xQc's reaction that the trolling had gotten under his skin.
Nevertheless, viewers and fans found the incident highly amusing, leading to widespread sharing across multiple platforms and garnering significant attention from audiences.
