SMOG Calculator™
In 1969 Professor G. Harry McLaughlin devised SMOG, a formula to assess the
educational level needed to fully understand a text. It has been widely
used, particularly by health authorities such as the Veteran's Association.
Now WordsCount has programmed SMOG as a free online service, available to
all. Welcome to the SMOG Calculator.
And while SMOG (Simple Measure of Gobbledygook) is a formula for measuring grade level, the Calculator also tells you other things such as the number of words, letters, and sentences. SMOG Calculator also incorporates Syllable Counter, which uses a dictionary to look up the syllable length of words. Because of this, SMOG Calculator counts syllables more accurately than any other readability program.
