About the suffix -FUL
The suffix ful usually makes adjectives meaning “full of” or “having”: hopeful, careful, joyful. It also makes nouns of measurement, the amount that fills something: a spoonful, a handful, a cupful. Note the single L: the suffix is spelled with one L even though the word “full” has two.
Spelling changes are rare. A final Y after a consonant becomes I, as in beauty and beautiful, and otherwise the base usually stays as it is. That keeps the “leave another word” count on this page high.
The plural of a measurement noun is usually formed by adding S at the end (spoonfuls), and the older form with the S in the middle also exists in some word lists; check this list's entries before relying on either. Adverbs formed from -ful adjectives end in -fully and are counted on other pages, since they end in different letters.
