Validate 2Col syntax!

Question

As a couple of people may have noticed lately, I've largely abandoned development of Braingolf because it's boring and uninspired, and moved on to 2Col which is a little more interesting, and not designed to be a golfing language.

The defining feature of 2Col is that every line of code must be exactly 2 characters long, excluding the newline. This means that the length of a 2Col program can always be calculated as 3n-1 where n is the number of lines in the program.

So here's my challenge: Given 2Col code as a string, output truthy if it is valid 2Col code (Every line is exactly 2 characters and it conforms with the 3n-1 formula), and falsey otherwise.

Input

Input should be taken as a single string, or an array of characters.

Output

A truthy value if the input string is valid layout, and a falsey value otherwise.

Your code should be consistent in which truthy/falsey values it uses

Testcases

======
F!
$^
----
truthy
======


======
*8
+1
Sq
----
truthy
======


======
nop
xt
----
falsey
======


======
+1
+1
#^

----
falsey
======


======
<empty string>
----
falsey
======


======
ye
----
truthy
======


======
no<space>
----
falsey
======


======
test
----
falsey
======


======
puzzle
----
falsey
======

Scoring

This is code-golf so fewest bytes wins!

@Shaggy no, not unless for some reason the language you use considers true falsey and false truthy — Skidsdev, May 25 '17 at 18:13
@Mayube thanks, sorry, I forgot to add "could you" in front of that xD — Stephen, May 25 '17 at 18:21
I suggest you add a test case: puzzle. This will make solutions that do the whole length of the string modulo 3, then negated (which works for all the current test cases) invalid. — Comrade SparklePony, May 25 '17 at 19:41

Brachylog (2), 4 bytes

ṇl₂ᵐ

Try it online!

Full program (because this is a decision-problem; Brachylog full programs output false. if there was an assertion failure, true. without one).

Explanation

ṇl₂ᵐ
ṇ     Split input into lines
   ᵐ  For each line:
 l₂     Assert that that line has length 2

Subscripts on l are one of Brachylog's newest features (although still older than the challenge), and this is a good challenge to use them on.

Fixed program and shaved of three bytes thanks to @PunPun1000

Shaved off one byte thanks to @Shaggy

s=>/^(..\n)*..$/.test(s)

Returns true if valid and false if not.

f=
s=>/^(..\n)*..$/.test(s)

t=
`22

22
22
22`

console.log(f(t));
console.log(f(t.slice(0, -1)));

\$\begingroup\$ Just looking at this I don't think it works for two of the test cases (the truthy one with only 2 characters and no new line, and the falsey one with a trailing newline). However s=>s.match(/^(..\n)*..$/) should correctly match both of those while also being shorter at 25 bytes \$\endgroup\$ – PunPun1000 May 25 '17 at 18:46
\$\begingroup\$ @PunPun1000 thank you, you are correct. \$\endgroup\$ – Stephen May 25 '17 at 19:15
\$\begingroup\$ Unfortunately this is invalid as the 2 output values aren't consistent. However, you should be able to fix that and save a byte by using test instead of match. \$\endgroup\$ – Shaggy May 28 '17 at 23:05
\$\begingroup\$ @Shaggy thanks - the reason I didn't see that when I answered because that was just edited in \$\endgroup\$ – Stephen May 29 '17 at 1:05
\$\begingroup\$ I know, that's why I pointed it out ;) You might want to update the note on your return values. \$\endgroup\$ – Shaggy May 29 '17 at 9:24

Cubix, 20 bytes

Returns 1 for truthy and nothing for falsey

@1OuABq>;;?w-!$@;U_N

Cubified

    @ 1
    O u
A B q > ; ; ? w
- ! $ @ ; U _ N
    . .
    . .

ABq slurp in all the input, reverse it and push the EOI(-1) to the bottom of the stack
>;; Step into the loop and remove items from the stack
? Test for EOI(-1).
- If found 1uO@ push 1 to the stack, u-turn onto integer output and halt
- Otherwise _ reflect back onto the ? which redirects to the w lane shift
N-!$@;U push line feed (10) onto the stack, subtract, test result, skip the halt if false, remove the result and u-turn
;;> remove the line feeds from the stack and redirect into the loop.

Bash + GNU utilities, 13

grep -qv ^..$

This sets the shell return value (accessible in $?) to 0 for false and 1 for true. This is actually the opposite sense compared to normal shell convention, so to make that right you'd need to do:

Bash + GNU utilities, 15

! grep -qv ^..$
