 Truncate the strings as follows:
-  w1':  L ... [lop off the s at the beginning so we have k s's]
+  w1':  L ... [lop off the s at the beginning of w1, so we have k s's]
-  w2': <L ... sXL ... sXL ... sXL ... ] (lop off one s, so one fewer s than w3)
+  w2': <L ... sXL ... sXL ... sXL ... ] [lop off one s at the end of w2, so one fewer s than w3]
-  w3':         <L ... sXL ... sXL ... sXL ... s> (at most k-1 s's)
+  w3':         <L ... sXL ... sXL ... sXL ... s> [lop off an L at the beginning of w3, result has at most k-1 s's]
 so this contradicts our original scale being a mos.
