In this paper we examine Brzozowski’s conjecture for the two-generated free Burnside semigroup satisfying
x
2
=
x
3
. The elements of this semigroup are classes of equivalent words, and the conjecture claims that all elements are regular languages. The case of the identity
x
2
=
x
3
is the only one, for which Brzozowski’s conjecture is neither proved nor disproved. We prove the conjecture for all the elements containing an overlap-free or an “almost” overlap-free word. In addition, we show that all but finitely many of these elements are “big” languages in terms of growth rate.
