In case 2, suppose ''w'' = ''ustv'' where ''st'' is as in case 1 and {{!}}''u''{{!}} and {{!}}''v''{{!}} are less than 2<sup>''i''+1</sup>. Neither ''u'' nor ''v'' can contain an '''i''', as they are subwords of ''F''<sub>''i''</sub>. Since
In case 2, suppose ''w'' = ''ustv'' where ''st'' is as in case 1 and {{!}}''u''{{!}} and {{!}}''v''{{!}} are less than 2<sup>''i''+1</sup>. Neither ''u'' nor ''v'' can contain an '''i''', as they are subwords of ''F''<sub>''i''</sub>. Using {{!}}''st''{{!}} = {{!}}''st''{{!}}<sub>'''i'''</sub>2<sup>''i+1</sup>, we have


{{!}}''st''{{!}} < {{!}}''w''{{!}} = {{!}}''st''{{!}} + {{!}}''u''{{!}} + {{!}}''v''{{!}} &le; {{!}}''st''{{!}} +  2<sup>''i''+1</sup> &minus; 2,

we have
