This crossword on p.33 of today's Daily Mail has the headline "Is this really the hardest crossword ever made? - expert claims it takes TWO years to crack"

This is either "fake news" or I'm suddenly improving (unlikely)

The last one in I'm struggling with is 47d "Number added to recipients of email that's stolen" (7)

T?O?C?D

Any help much appreciated

TWOC is abbreviation for " taken without the owner's consent".
Not sure about the rest, though.
Good luck.

Number is "two"
Copy is "c" or "cc" for plural.

There is a thread on this running on AnswerBank.
Worth a look.
Think two folk have completed it.

Thanks very much rusty; I'll have a look at the thread

......ooops; not quite last one; 4d still to do for a finish:

"Dishonest, short of getting further at King's Head" (6)

S?O?K?


Again, any help much appreciated

"Shonky" is Aussie slang for dishonest

Thanks again rusty; a new one on me

Glad to help, Scribbler!

Interesting work out this not so hard hardest . The DM xwd not my regular port call so quite telling in many ways . Ok Shonky but can't get the construction of the clue. Have learnt some stuff; one does appreciate that in a crossie
