Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
This could have begun with an initial 0, but (since this is a list, and must have offset 1), we would no longer have a(1)=1, and that is needed for some related sequences.
The indices of words of the form 100...00 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 17, 31, ..., see the tribonacci numbers A000213.
