It's not just height. There's also inseam. Not trouser inseam, but rather floor to crotch when in bare feet. Then there's flexibility. Wrench Science has a fit calculator, but there are others, that can help you figure out what size is likely to fit.
You can make a smaller bike fit with longer seatpost and stem. Too big is more challenging.
