• Alice clues the unmarked white4w,with a white 4clue, in Emily's hand (finesse) so that Alice has one card fewer to play and shortens the critical path.

Solution

:A) Alice clues Bob white2w,with a white 2clue, / white2w,with a white 2clue, ❌ does not get the unmarked white3w,with a white 3clue, / white4w,with a white 4clue,

B) Alice clues Donald white3w,with a white 3clue, / white3w,with a white 3clue, ❌ does not get the unmarked white4w,with a white 4clue,

C) Alice clues Emily white4w,with a white 4clue, / white4w,with a white 4clue, ❌ does not get the unmarked white3w,with a white 3clue,

D) Alice discards white4w,with a white 4clue, ✅ finesses up to white4w,with a white 4clue,

E) Alice (mis)plays white4w,with a white 4clue, ❌ interpretation = [Gamehelphanabi#Advanced positional misplay]

F) Alice discards slot 1 ✅ Donald and Emily both see Alice could have clued instead white4w,with a white 4clue,

G) Alice (mis)plays slot 1 ❌ interpretation: [Gamehelphanabi#Advanced positional misplay]

Other possible options include trash push if both of Emily's other cards are the same rank (not 4) or colour (not white) e.g red1r,with a red 1clue,yellow1y,with a yellow 1clue, then Alice could clue red1r,with a red 1clue,yellow1y,with a yellow 1clue, to Emily.
