No that doesn't work because if we play a club early west can keep spades instead of hearts and dummy will be squeezed. So we need to know west's plan before we decide whether to play a club from dummy or not. Yes I know this has been explained many times but maybe it hasn't been mentioned that one of the keys is that dummy can't afford to discard a club if a club has already been played while dummy can afford to get down to two clubs even if everyone else keeps three.

So win the opening lead and play four diamonds ending. in dummy. If West has dicarded a black card we play a club to the Queen. Otherwise we leave the clubs alone so that dummy doesn't get squeezed. Go to the hand with a heart and play diamond and exit for example heart. In the five card ending dummy keeps three spades and two clubs and defenders have only black cards also.

Shall we call it a three suited menace guard squeeze? West must dicard either a heart winner or a clyb guard or a spade which he needs as a menace against dummy.

At the other table the lead was ♥8 so now the entry shift is not required anymore because ♥7 is a menace against West :)
