2023-11-05 puzzle solvable?

[graue]

The 2023-11-05 puzzle seems impossible to me. There's a relatively small area where every possibility I can come up with leads to a contradiction. I restarted several times, always get stuck here and don't see my error.

Hello graue,

I verified that the puzzle is solvable by hand after seeing your post. I can say that you have made a mistake in the first 15 seconds of the video.

Ah. Somehow I failed to notice that there were 2 different ways for the two adjacent s to touch.

Well now I'm embarrassed, but also impressed that after solving 304 dailies this was the one that got me. Thanks.
