Yeah, it’s fine to guess now. I am slightly surprised nobody else has guessed anything but they’ve had a chance.
Yes
Yes, no
Yes, no
No, yes
And the last row is all yes

I will, but I haven't had the brain capacity to do it for the past few days. When I regain it I shall ask things.

Well, I’m not sure if this will help with your frustration or not, but those are all yes (with "AA" being a repeated yes).

There are still 19 available characters that you haven’t tried yet (the capitals, minus those in “LORICA” and the letter S from “CORSICA”. Plus it has been more than 72 hours.

That is far more than ten, but I’ll let it slide because I am fairly confident your guess is correct.

Whoops, forgot about that rule, sorry.
My guess:
Balanced parentheses. L/l stands for Lleft, R/r for Rright. L matches R, l matches r. LR or lr makes a valid pair.
Nested pairs like LlrR ([]) are okay; so are non-nested pairs like LRlr ()[]. Partially overlapping pairs like LlRr ([)] are forbidden. Strings containing no pairs like xyzzy are okay. Wrong-way-round pairs like RL are not okay. In otherwise-ambiguous cases like LLRR, pair in such a way as to make a yes if possible (LLRR not LLRR). Non-case-matching pairs like Lr (] don't count as pairs.
