Email Spam Word Checker
Scan an email subject and body for spam trigger words and risky formatting. Highlight every match, group matches by category, and score risk. No signup.
Your email
0 characters, 0 flagged words
0 words, 0 characters, 0 flagged words
Paste a subject line and email body above, or click Load sample, to scan the message for spam trigger words and risky formatting. The check runs entirely in your browser.
How to read the result
A higher score means the wording and formatting are cleaner. A few flagged words rarely sink an email on their own, but they add up fast next to ALL CAPS, strings of exclamation marks, and repeated symbols like $$$ or !!!. Rewrite the heaviest offenders first: anything in the subject line, then the urgency and money phrases in the body.
What this cannot check
Word choice is only one input to a spam filter. Deliverability also depends on your sending domain reputation, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication, the ratio of images to text, broken links, and how recipients have engaged with you before. Treat this as a copy-editing pass, not a guarantee that a message will reach the inbox.
Why caps and !!! hurt
Shouting punctuation and capitalization were abused by bulk senders for years, so filters learned to treat them as a signal. Plain sentence case with a single exclamation mark at most reads as a real person wrote it.
Private by design
The subject and body you paste are analyzed in your browser with plain text matching. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored, so you can safely check unsent drafts.
How to use
- Type or paste your subject line into the Subject field, then paste your email body into the Email body box. Or click Load sample to see a deliberately spammy example.
- Read the score from 0 to 100 and its grade. A higher score means cleaner wording and formatting; the label ranges from Clean to Very high risk.
- Open the Score breakdown to see each problem and the points it removed, such as spam trigger words, ALL CAPS, too many exclamation marks, or repeated symbols.
- Use Flagged words by category to decide what to rewrite first, and check the Highlighted text panel to see every trigger marked in place in your subject and body.
- Edit the wording, watch the score update live, and click Copy report to export a plain-text summary. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
About this tool
Email Spam Word Checker scans an email subject line and body for the words, phrases, and formatting that spam filters and recipients commonly associate with junk mail, then shows you exactly what to fix. It checks against a curated dictionary of well-known spam trigger phrases grouped into six categories: urgency and pressure (act now, limited time, expires today), money and income claims (make money, extra cash, financial freedom), free and discount offers (100% free, free gift, lowest price), exaggeration and hype (guaranteed, risk free, unbeatable), shady and pushy language (no obligation, no catch, this is not spam), and health and pharma terms (weight loss, online pharmacy) that are aggressively filtered after years of abuse. Every match is highlighted in place in a preview of your subject and body, so you can see the precise words to rewrite, and each match is also collected into a per-category breakdown with the unique phrases that fired. On top of the word list, the tool measures the formatting signals that filters dislike: ALL CAPS words, the total number of exclamation marks, runs of repeated punctuation or currency signs like !!! and $$$, a subject written entirely in capitals, an emoji-heavy subject, and the overall spam-word density of the body. These feed a transparent score from 0 to 100 with a letter grade, where every deduction is listed with the points it removed and the reason, so the number is never a black box. A copy button exports a plain-text report with the score, the flagged words by category, and the full breakdown for sharing or pasting into a ticket. Important: this is a wording and formatting check, not a guarantee. Real inbox placement also depends on your sending domain reputation, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication, list hygiene, the ratio of images to text, and how recipients have engaged with you before, none of which a text checker can see. What it does reliably is catch the language that is easy to clean up before you hit send. Everything runs locally in your browser, so the subject and body you paste are never uploaded, logged, or stored, and you can safely check unsent drafts.
