Fullmetal Alchemist mode draws on 6 characters and every one of them is listed for 2003, so the year tile is dead weight on this board and the solve has to come from visual clues and process of elimination.

The pool splits 4 male to 2 female, so a gender match usually removes about 4 of the 6 candidates in one go.

None hair is the tightest visual filter here, belonging to only 1 of the 6, while blonde hair is the broadest group with 3.

On eyes, yellow is the rarest tag (1 character) and black is the most common (1).

Riza Hawkeye and Winry Rockbell agree on 4 of the five clue traits, and that pair is what decides most failed runs in this mode.

If you only memorise one character first, make it Alphonse Elric — it carries the most distinctive clue profile in the Fullmetal Alchemist pool.

Why these characters matter

The anchors worth learning first are the ones with the fewest lookalikes. Fullmetal Alchemist has 6 characters, all listed for 2003, where none hair appears on only 1 of them, while blonde covers 3 — so a distinctive hair colour is often enough to locate the right cluster.

Learn Alphonse Elric first, then the candidate it is most often confused with: Riza Hawkeye and Winry Rockbell agree on 4 of the five clue traits. That one comparison removes the most common failure in Fullmetal Alchemist mode.
