Good problem, Mr Ace.

If either of our solutions is right, IMO this is a tough problem for I/A, especially for the I portion, although it is less difficult than the problems I've seen in the expert forum. I would never get this in a table without collecting late-play warnings and a mean glare from partner for holding up the game.
To potential BBO partners: Don't expect I'm going to find these plays at the table.

Both Kaitlyn and Nige1 are on right track but not complete.
In the original hand spades were 2-2.
It is about counting the opponent hands so I do not think it is hard problem for I/A section.
First cash a ♠ and if all follows cash 2nd ♠, if all follows
Cash ♣AK and ruff a club. Assume E followed all 3 of them.
Go to dummy with ♥K and play 4th club, now;
A-E followed 4th club, then ruff and play 2 more rounds of ♥ discarding ♦ from dummy, endplaying E, as Kaitlyn said.
B-E did not follow 4th club, then E is 2623, ruff the 4th club, cash AK of ♥ and ruff 3rd ♥, exit with ♦ and hope East originally had Jx ♦
So the correct line is to win the ♦A and
-Cash 1 round of ♠, if all follow
-Cash 2nd ♠. and if all follow
-Cash AK of ♣ and ruff 3rd.
-Go to dummy with ♥K and play 4th ♣. Play accordingly depending in whether E followed the 4th ♣ or not. Like Kaitlyn said if he follows 4th♣ and if not follows cash A of ♥ and ruff 3rd ♥ exit with ♦ hope for E holding Jx ♦.
-IF W did not follow 1st or 2nd ♠, play like Nigel said
-IF E did not follow 2nd ♠, we need miracle E holding something exactly like x QJT98x 9xx 543 to perform same squeeze against West.
