I take this is a problem to solve. My guess would be:
As the lead of the 7♣ could have several meanings, I would play the A♣. Next playing the 7♠ to the A. Return to dummy with a low ♦. Play the Q♠ and dump the other ♣ from my hand (loser on a loser).
If they play back a ♠ win in dummy, dumping a low ♦ from my hand. Draw a round of trumps playing east for the king. If both follow, play a second round.
If they play back a ♥ play east for holding the king.
If they play back a ♦ win in dummy, and play the 9♥ (trying to capture the king in east's hand). If required to repeat the process, play the Q.
If they play back a ♣ play low in dummy and trump. Use the ♦ entry to then take the required ♥ finessess.
If still in dummy after two rounds of trumps, play a ♠ dumping a ♦. Play another ♠ dumping another ♦.
Finish drawing trumps and finish with the A♦.
I realise for this to work, I need:
- a 2/3 split in trumps, east with the king.
- the person with the 3 trumps to have at least 4 spades.
- and at worst a 2/4 split in diamonds.
Not sure if there is anything I've overlooked.

I think u might cash a second round of ♦ before playing ♠Q
so that opponent least likely to return a ♦

Scoring: IMP
Say the same contract failed at the other table a wise line of play may worth 17 IMPs.
♣A, ♠A, ♦K, ♠Q and discard losing ♣.
Ruff to next ♣.
Enter table with a ♦.
Run 9 of ♥ which holds.
Play the 2 of ♥ to ten when lefty discards.
Ruff a ♦ to table.
Play Jack and ten of ♠.
So you catch East in a trump coup
Say after ♠K West plays a ♦ rather than a ♣, then after running 9 of ♥ declarer must ruff a ♣.
After that can ruff a ♥ can ruff a ♦ and would arrive same ending.
Okay in actual layout ♥Q would also works for th same money.
But now ♥Q not a good idea !
Scoring: IMP
Neat lesson, could cost expensive a lot in case careless line
