It's not efficient, but I wonder if a Cantor pairing of the ord() values would work. It would certainly be optimal if all the strings were two letters. The trouble is, those numbers get very big, very fast.

I mean its time complexity is
O(n)
-ish but yeah the large number multiplication would get you for longer words.26th prime is 101 so I imagine zzzzzzzzzzzzz et all would take more time
