Dickle

A new country every day

Dickle is a free daily game about a number everyone has an opinion on and almost nobody has actually looked up. Every day you get one country, and you try to guess its published average penis size in centimetres. You get five guesses, with higher-or-lower hints along the way, and you win if you land within 0.5 cm. The country changes every day at midnight your time, so there's always a fresh one waiting when you wake up.

The measure is stretched length — the figure urology studies actually report, because a clinician measures it with a ruler instead of trusting a self-reported number, and it tracks erect length closely. The worldwide average is 12.93 cm (Belladelli et al., World J Mens Health, 2023 (55,761 men)). Every country in the game is tied to a specific published study, and the reveal screen names it.

If you play Wordle or Globle, it's the same kind of thing: a quick puzzle you do once a day, plus a streak you'll want to keep going. Check back tomorrow for a new country.

Frequently asked questions

What is Dickle?

Dickle is a free daily browser game where you guess the average penis size in a different country each day. You get five tries and hotter/colder feedback after each guess.

How do you play Dickle?

Each day you get one country. Type in your best guess of the country's published average, in centimetres. After every guess, Dickle tells you whether the real figure is higher or lower and how close you got. Land within 0.5 cm to win. You have five guesses.

Which measurement does Dickle use?

Stretched length, measured from the pubic bone to the tip. It's the figure urology studies actually report, because a clinician measures it with a ruler instead of relying on self-reported numbers, and it tracks erect length closely. Using one consistent measure is the only way the countries can be compared at all.

Where do the numbers come from?

Every country in the game is tied to a specific published study, and the reveal screen names it: the authors, the year, how many men were measured, and the method. Most come from peer-reviewed urology journals such as European Urology, BJU International and the International Journal of Impotence Research.

Are the figures accurate?

They're the published figures, but treat them loosely. The studies differ in method — some press the ruler into the pubic bone and some don't, sample sizes range from dozens to thousands, and a few are decades old. The differences between individual men within any one country are far larger than the differences between countries.

Is Dickle free to play?

Yes, it's completely free. You don't need an account or a download, and it works in any browser on your phone or computer.

How often does Dickle update?

The country changes every day at midnight your time, so there's a new puzzle each morning.

Does Dickle save my streak?

Yes. Your results and streak are saved right in your browser, so just play each day to keep the streak going. Nothing gets uploaded and there's no sign-in.

What is the worldwide average penis size?

The largest pooled analysis to date puts the worldwide mean stretched length at 12.93 cm. Source: Belladelli et al., World J Mens Health, 2023 (55,761 men). Dickle shows you how each country's published figure compares with it.
