Stretch a silhouette to its real size next to a 5 ft 7 in person, five objects a day.

NewHowbigle is a free daily size guessing game in the browser. Each day brings five objects, such as an Olympic pool or a saltwater crocodile, shown beside an adult human, and you scale each one to the size you think it really is. Each guess scores up to 100 by how close it lands, for a total out of 500.
About Howbigle
Howbigle is a daily size estimation game from an independent developer who does not give a name, launched with puzzle #1 on 12 November 2026. Every round puts a dark silhouette of an adult human, 5 ft 7 in (1.7 m) tall, next to an orange silhouette of the day's object. The object starts at the same size as the person. You drag the slider, swipe or pinch the picture, or tap the minus and plus buttons until the object looks the right size, then lock in.
The first board asked for the length of an Olympic swimming pool. The rest of that day's five were a Boeing 737-800, the Empire State Building, a saltwater crocodile and a green anaconda. After each lock-in the reveal shows your guess and the true size side by side, how many times too big or small you were, a comparison in adult humans, and a short note with a source link for the measurement.
Scoring works on ratios. A guess within 6% of the published size earns 100, and the score then falls off smoothly, so guessing double and guessing half cost the same. A guess twice the true size scores 36, and one five times off scores about 8. The five rounds add up to a total out of 500, and the share text gives the puzzle number, your total and five coloured squares without giving the answers away.
The daily set changes at midnight Eastern time and is the same for every player. Scores and your streak are kept in the browser, with no account. A separate Unlimited mode serves practice objects from the same bank at any time and leaves the daily score alone. The site lists a Fermi style number mode and archive tools as planned for later.
The game suits anyone who likes the size comparison idea and wants a short, quiet daily with no timer. Its objects mix animals, buildings, vehicles and natural features, so a feel for feet and metres helps more than trivia knowledge.
How to play Howbigle
- Read the round's prompt, which names the object and whether it is length or height you are judging.
- Drag the slider, swipe or pinch the picture, or tap the minus and plus buttons to resize the object against the 5 ft 7 in person.
- Press "Lock in" when the size looks right. The reveal shows the true size, your score out of 100 and the source.
- Play all five rounds for a total out of 500, then copy the spoiler free share text if you want to post it.

Tips
- Count how many people would fit along the object. The reveal gives the answer in adult humans too, which helps you calibrate for the next round.
- Being off by a factor is what costs points, so a wild overestimate hurts as much as an equal underestimate.
- Use Unlimited mode to practise with objects from the same bank before the daily.
Questions
When does a new Howbigle puzzle come out?
At midnight US Eastern time, following daylight saving changes. Everyone gets the same five objects that day.
Do I need an account?
No. Your scores and streak are kept in your browser on that device, so clearing the site's data resets them.
How is a guess scored?
A guess within 6% of the published size scores 100. Past that the score drops with how many times off you are, so a guess twice the true size scores 36 and one five times off scores about 8.
Can I play more than five a day?
Yes. The Unlimited mode gives practice objects at any time, and it does not change your daily score or streak.
