The following picture will help you to remember this:
The monarchy (mono) dialled (di) for trifle (tri) while having a tête-à-tête (tetra) with a witch in the penthouse (penta) suite. The witch put a hex (hexa) spell on her but she was inept (hepta) and turned herself into an octopus (octa).
NOTE:
This is an odd picture, but memorable. If anyone can offer a better picture, then we would welcome hearing from you.
