It's suggestive that there are 26 different strings for each of three positions, is this the most obvious split, or were you specifically aiming for 26 per slot? This can't be a static map over the English alphabet, unless the text is about foxes jumping over lazy dogs. Maybe the character encodings are updated at each turn according to some algorithm?
That's the best I could do manually, my Hill Climbing program failed to improve my previous best attempt 27-23-22 on page 6 of this thread. I was aiming at 26 or less for each slot. I haven't worked on this since 2021 and suddenly found an improvement that reduces the numbers to 26-26-26. There may be a way to reduce the numbers, but it's impossible to know when the partition is correct, unfortunately.
I don't understand why you said that each of the strings in each column can't be statically mapped to the English alphabet.
