There are 26 letters in the latin alphabet. There are between 38 and 49 sounds in English depending on dialect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_phonology (I've seen reports as high at 56 but I can't find sources so I'll stick to Wikipedia which is often accurate) There is no way to have nice spelling in English. Some languages using the latin alphabet have various accent marks which help. At this point the dialects of English are different enough that reformed spelling would need to start with reforming how we pronounce words. (there are other alphabets in the world, I have no comment on if any would be better)
