From https://hugovk.github.io/tiles/ and https://hugovk.github.io/tiles/
For the L in LFGSS:
Explorer tile / big tile / Squadrat = OpenStreetMap level 14 tile
1.52 km
0.95 miles
little tile / Squadratinho = OpenStreetMap level 17 tile, 64 times smaller
0.19 km
0.12 miles
The biggest tiles are at the equator, 2.45km, and the smallest are at +- 85.05 latitude, 0.21km.
Above/below that, there is an untiled void.
It has to be said 'about a mile across' is fairly more-developed-countries-centric.
