It has to be subfix as the only alternative is sufrix, which looks worse.
But subfix is not in any dictionary I have or can find on line...sigh.

I found it in some on-line dictionary - can't remember which one, I'm afraid.
(It can't be sufrix because unfurl got a 0).

The Webster's Collegiate dicationaries have it (I've got the 1976
Webster's New Collegiate, and the Webster's Ninth New Collegiate).
I believe I also found the word on either the Webster's or OED
WWW dictionaries, probably the former, as this appears to be a
Websterian word. Anyway...
subfix 6 (aruba) --> Ding! ding! clank!
I'm not sure that kingjon's guesses are words, but it doesn't
matter now. Congrats, aruba, your turn!

Sorry Rane, but I really can't remember. :) Ok, I'm thinking of a 6 letter
word.

I can't find "mudpie" in any of the online dictionaries I checked, or in the
paper dictionary I have on my desk. Can you giive a reference, Catriona?
I'm afraid Rane's guess must wait either for mudpie to be validated or for
someone else to make a guess.

OK, I withdraw mud pie. It's listed in the OED as a combined form, but I
checked again, and it is m. pie, not m-pie. So they think it is two words.
