...most of the examples don't work for me (because they assign the data to a variable "data", which is apparently illegal because the name "data" is more than one letter)...:

What are you talking about?

data is a perfectly valid symbol name.

It is not, and I found that other people faced this issue, to: https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/3199730

Thank you @Mohammed for explaining the issue. I could not thank you earlier, because this forum lets me post only once per 24 hours (probably a limitation of free accounts).

Thank you for your reply. As outlined in the discussion I linked, the error message is "No Wolfram Language translation found".

And I was under the impression that Mathematica is a part of Wolfram|Alpha (or vice versa).

Thank you for the clarification. I looked into it and indeed I want Mathematica instead of Alpha Notebooks.

Luckily adding this as a trial option was incredibly easy, and I did not even had to re-install something.

Now the multi-letter identifiers work as expected.

Yay! Now it all makes sense. I'm not very familiar with Wolfram|Alpha or Alpha Notebooks, so that's why I couldn't understand the problem before.

You cannot use upper case letter C and assign it a value, because it is a protected symbol: https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/C.html

Call your list for example lower case c and it will work.
