My last bit of advice, which may or may not be helpful. Some questions for y'all to answer:

1) Why is Hint 3 relevant? Why twenty-six words, specifically?
2) What makes #92 a YES?
3) Why are #65 and #74 YES, while #75 is NO?

Start with #1, then with that in mind, tackle the other two.

Good luck.

GUESS:

If a word in position X contains a letter Y such that Y's position in the alphabet is equal to X, then the answer is yes.

(In other words, if the letter a is present in word 1, or letter b is present in word 2, c in word 3, d in 4, e in 5, etc. then the answer is yes)

Correct!


My wording:
If the
n
th letter of the alphabet is present in the
n
th word of the question, for at least one value of
n
, then yes. Else, no.
