What is Email Spam Word Checker?
Spam filters used by Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo scan every email for trigger words — phrases commonly found in spam and phishing emails. Words like 'act now', 'guaranteed', and 'click here' can reduce your chances of landing in the inbox. This tool checks your email against a database of 200+ known spam trigger words and scores your content based on what it finds.
How to Use This Tool
Paste Your Email
Copy your email content — subject line, body, signature — and paste it into the text box above.
Review Your Score
Your email gets a score from 0-100. Green (80+) means you're good. Yellow (50-79) needs some fixes. Red (below 50) means significant changes are needed.

Each flagged word comes with a suggested replacement. Swap out the spam triggers and re-check until your score is green.

Frequently Asked Questions
Spam trigger words are phrases that email spam filters flag as suspicious. They include aggressive sales language ('act now', 'limited time'), scammy phrases ('you've been selected', 'click below'), and overly promotional terms ('guaranteed', 'free gift'). Using too many of these can send your email to the spam folder.
Your email starts at 100 points. Each spam trigger word deducts points based on its severity: critical words lose 15 points, high-severity lose 10, medium lose 5, and low-severity lose 2. Structural issues like excessive ALL CAPS or too many links also reduce your score. Aim for 80 or higher.
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your email content never leaves your device — it's not sent to any server or stored anywhere.
Fixing spam trigger words improves your chances, but it's not the only factor. Your sender reputation, domain authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), email volume, and recipient engagement all play a role. Clean content + email warmup gives you the best results.
Aim for 80 or higher (green). Scores between 50-79 (yellow) mean your email has some risky phrases that should be rephrased. Below 50 (red) means significant changes are needed before sending.
Yes — this tool is especially useful for cold emails, which are more likely to be flagged by spam filters. Cold emails should be concise, personalized, and free of pushy sales language.
