Sizekin Animals
HEIGHT, LENGTH OR WINGSPAN · READ THE ANIMAL’S MEASURE
A field guide to animal scale
A photograph tells you an animal's shape, but rarely gives you a useful ruler. Here, one animal supplies that ruler. Use its stated measurement to estimate the other, then compare your decision with the size recorded in the library.
Standing height, body length and wingspan answer different questions. Read the measurement label before judging the outline. A tall-looking animal can still have a shorter measured body than its neighbour.
Make a measurement, then test it
- 01 · Read the reference
Find the fixed silhouette and read its number, unit and measurement direction. Decide which endpoints you are comparing before changing the target.
- 02 · Adjust the target
Drag the target or use the ruler controls. A two-finger pinch changes your guess on touchscreens; the zoom buttons change the view. You can also use the plus and minus buttons for smaller adjustments.
- 03 · Reveal and compare
Submit once you are satisfied. The reveal shows the recorded size beside your estimate. Base points depend on the size ratio; round weights turn those points into the run total.
What the label changes
Species, sex and posture matter. Treat the number as the selected example in this puzzle, not a promise that every animal of that species reaches exactly that size. Check any qualifier displayed beside the name.
A useful way to practise
Try comparing two standing animals first, then switch to a bird with a wingspan measurement. This separates remembering an animal's size from recognising which part of it the ruler is measuring.
Inspect the objects behind a round
The library lets you search names, filter a theme and inspect measurement notes and source credits. Retired entries remain available to explain older games, but are excluded from new draws. Counts there follow the current catalogue rather than a fixed list in this guide.
Choose your next set
Daily offers five rounds for the selected category and date. Unlimited lets you choose 5, 10, 20 or an endless run; these results are separate from Daily. An endless run can be finished after at least five rounds.
