Most slavic languages probably don't have spelling contests - what you say has mostly exact textual representation, except some letters that can sound alike when spoken.
The more I learn about other languages the more I realize that most languages do that. English probably also did that before it became mixed with french
English spelling wasn't even remotely standardized at that time. So phonetic was pretty much all there was
Very interesting! I vaguely recall having once seen an infographic explaining how to read cryllic in very little time ages ago, and if it's that rigid with pronunciations and such I can see it being that easy to pick up.
As opposed to English, where you might cough and hiccough while the borough's favorite dough-maker ploughs through the field.
