The word "careful" has only one "l" because it follows a specific pattern in English spelling. The suffix "-ful" is added to the root word "care," and in this case, the "l" from "full" is retained, while the "l" from "care" is dropped. This results in "careful" instead of "carefull." Spelling conventions often dictate that certain suffixes do not double the final consonant of the root word.
