You somehow reach 6♣ and LHO leads a small spade (to which RHO will follow).

East is dealer and opens the bidding with 3 hearts (showing a 7 card suit).

win spade ace, pull trump and lead a diamond. Now west must lead a spade or adiamond back, giving you an entry to the diamonds.

Key is trick 1, I think. Seems like people are seeing it.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Yes, key is trick 1.
Would also be an interesting hand from West's perspective if dummy had ♦KQx instead of KQJ. In that case West must duck when you play a ♦ to the K.

Make sure to win with the ace of spades so your jack will be an entry. After playing some trumps and losing the ace of diamonds, he has only Q and some small spades, and diamonds left. If he plays a diamond great, if he plays a spade you can win the jack and enjoy diamonds, if the Q spades win the K then play T to the Jack. if you are greedy and dont think about it, you will have no small card to enjoy the jack with.
I played a similar hand a few days ago:
It's not the exact hand but it's similar enough. ♠7 lead, low from rho.
I won with the ten, now lho ducked the ♠A when I played the king after the ♣A was knocked out and i could never go back to dummy to enjoy them. If I tried the low one he could pop in with the ace and i dont have another small one. If I won with the king, I have two small ones and he can't stop me getting to dummy!
edit: pretend contract is 5NT.
