funnest

1. (informal) superlative degree of fun
   • 2007, Terry Francona, Pressure on Red Sox as ALCS shifts to Cleveland [4]

     That was one of the funnest games I've ever been a part of until the very end, and then it rapidly became a whole lot not of fun. We lost in kind of an ugly fashion at the end.

While funnest is a regular superlative of the adjective fun, the superlative most fun is much more common. The use of fun as an adjective is itself still often seen as informal^[1] or casual^[2] and to be avoided in formal writing, and this would apply equally to the superlative form. Merriam-Webster gives fun as an adjective without comment, and states that funner and funnest are "sometimes" used.^[3]
