What this tool checks
- Urgency words, "act now", "limited time", "hurry", etc.
- Financial words, "free", "cash", "earn money", etc.
- Exaggerated claims, "guaranteed", "100%", "miracle", etc.
- Deceptive phrases, "no obligation", "click here", "dear friend", etc.
- Sales language, "buy now", "order", "discount", etc.
- Formatting issues, ALL CAPS words, excessive punctuation (!!!), etc.
Remember: spam filters look at far more than words. Email deliverability depends heavily on sender reputation, authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and engagement history. This tool covers the content side of the equation.
Frequently asked questions
How does the spam word checker work?
Paste your email text and the tool scans it against 200+ known spam trigger words in 6 categories. It also checks for formatting issues like ALL CAPS and excessive punctuation.
Will removing all spam words guarantee inbox delivery?
No. Content is just one factor. Sender reputation, authentication, engagement rates, and sending patterns all matter more. This tool covers the content side.
Can I use some spam trigger words in moderation?
Yes. Using "free" once in context is fine with a healthy sender reputation. Problems arise when you stack multiple triggers with aggressive formatting.
What spam score is acceptable?
Aim for 0–2 spam words (Low risk). 3–5 words (Medium) warrants review. 6+ words (High) means you should rewrite.
