  South is to play 4♠. West leads the ♠6. East plays ♠4.

Losers:   ♠ = 0    = 2    = 0   ♣ = 2   Total = 4

You must find a place for one of those losers and that will mean establishing the suit. If s split 3-3 that will be pretty easy so you should plan to deal with a 4-2 split. Dummy entries are limited so win the first trick in your hand with the ♠A.
