Mnemonic

すっかり — an adverb written in kana. It conveys that a state has come about "completely," with nothing left over. It often attaches to change or completion: すっかり忘れる (to forget entirely), すっかり変わる (to change completely). It resembles K-76's adverb はっきり in form, but はっきり means "clearly" while すっかり means "wholly, entirely."
