if you add a 'comma' this would make more sense: 'vad är det, som är så roligt'. With a tiny reservation: could any grammar pro please comment on that ! Am am only 99% it is correct. 'what is it, that is so funny' sort of.
Maybe it should be accepted. As a native swedish speaker, I find nothing really wrong with it. Gramatically it is not 100% correct, but swedish people sometimes say like this.
Vad är så roligt? Vad är det som är så roligt?
To remove the words "det som" makes the sentence incomplete but understandable.

A possible variation which is heavily used is : vad för något är så roligt ? BTW, but since I am a native I never learned enough Swedish grammar to know if that would be merely spoken Swedish, but I do not think so.

In English you use fun to describe an experience that makes/made you happy, e.g. That holiday was fun.
funny on the other hand, always describes something that makes/made you laugh. That joke was funny.

Why would 'funny' be accepted but not 'fun'? Is there a difference between those two? Both are considered a translation for 'roligt' if you look at the hints

I don't think any English speaker would say it that way, so that is probably the only reason.
