A quick and easy 3, even with checking to make sure I wasn’t overlooking another possibility.

IRATE
SPIRE

My opening word was helpful today and made picking SPIRE an easy choice for second word. I almost went with SHIRE, but then I thought, “Wait. It’s Sunday.” Aha!

KOALA → Not far from what I expected, though I was hoping for “one and only one A”. Moving on…
HEIST → Good result on the second guess. I know Wordle disfavors the terminal S, but I can’t resist…
CRIES → Good pickup on the R. ESI[R-|-R] goes nowhere. -IRE is a good ending, but USIRE doesn’t work, so S-IRE… but no H, so…
SPIRE

Wasn’t expecting better than par today after yesterday’s solution; was not disappointed.

AROSE
SPIRE

Another lucky first guess–it’s from my usual rotation. Other options had already been solutions (such as SHIRE). Trying S in first position was just a means of getting more information, but luck was with me.
