Hi everyone I’m currently designing a word-puzzle interface inspired by the NYT Letter Boxed game, and I’m exploring the best way to structure it in Figma. What I’m working on:The UI includes: A square/boxed layout with letters placed around the edges Interactive letter states (default, selected, used) A central word-building area Responsive behavior for different screen sizes (desktop & mobile)  Where I’m stuck:I’m unsure about the cleanest Figma workflow to manage: Reusable letter components Auto Layout without breaking the boxed structure Consistent spacing while keeping the “Letter Boxed” feel intact Sometimes Auto Layout works well

Hi i am totally new to website design and Figma.Want to create a logo for my website using Figma, where do I start and is their any resources like training videos available on logo design 

Hi, is there a way to change exposure levels for GIFs and video inside Figma? I know I can with still images but I can’t seem to find a way to make adjustments to GIFs/video. Are there any workarounds? And is it possible in development mode?Thanks!

Hi, occasionally I want to give access to members of my membership or to customers. This is usually for simple things like voting on a Figjam board. Do I really have to pay 5 Dollars for each member I give access to a single board for a short moment?

Hi everyone,I’m working on designing a word-puzzle interface that’s loosely inspired by the Letter Boxed style where players connect letters around a shape to form valid words. I’m in the early design phase and would love to get your thoughts on best practices when approaching something like this in Figma.A few specific things I am thinking about: How to layout the letter groups or nodes so they feel balanced and easy to interact withTips for designing smooth interaction prototypes (e.g., drag-to-connect letters)How to visually show feedback (valid/invalid word, selection paths, etc.)Any recommended component structure or auto layout setup that makes iterating easier I’ve been using auto layout for the basic grid, but I’m not sure if there’s a better way to structure the puzzle components so they’re reusable and flexible as the design evolves.If you’ve desi

Hello,In the color picker and with the eyedropper tool disabled, when I hover the rows of previously used colors, I don’t get the tooltip with the hex value of the color I am about to select. Instead, I get the eyedropper! I remember only a few days ago there was a tooltip there and it was very useful before any selection - the eyedropper doesn’t help at all, it’s like forcing me to choose based on visuals only. I couldn’t find any setting that could possibly have affected this. Any ideas?Thanks

how can I escalate a ticket that was opened for over 48 hours?

On the desktop app,  I can open my project. However only the AI chat column is there.  I can't get to the layers panel or anything else.  I've worked on this for 3 hours.  Unistalling and reinstalling. Dragging bars left and right.  Nothing works.  Help!

Hello, I have tried several times to check my student account, but each time I get a message saying that I have exceeded my student plan limit. I have never received a response to my request...Does anyone have a solution? Thank you, have a nice day.

Hi, I am a student, and I recently got verified by your system. but when I went back to my page, it still only has options of starter and professional plan for me?  pls help 

I’d really appreciate some help here, can’t get mobile prototyping to work in the way I’d expect. I am prototyping an app with a bottom anchored toolbar. As such, “Fit” type settings are critical to avoid users from missing these buttons. However, any combination of settings I try in prototyping (Fit, fill, presentation, different preset phone frames) do not actually fit my prototype within phones of varying sizes. Here’s an image of what I’d expect would happen.

Hi, I am getting an error accessing my file "This is an unassigned draft file.” I need help trying to re-access it or to see who is currently the admin of the file. I thought it was a file I created in a group project, but I am now receiving this error. Thanks for the help!

Hi folks! I used some components from other files in my project, and even though I removed them, I still see some Variables available in the “Page → Modes”. They are not available anywhere else. It doesn’t affect the project; when I select one, change the page, and then return to it, that mode is selected. I checked my file, and nothing leads to the other file anymore – no styles, variables, components, etc. It seems like a bug, and I see some variables pulled from another file, but can I remove it somehow?

How to update all elements’ text layers to the new font rendering type?

This issue has been happening on and off today which is preventing me from moving forward. Is anyone else seeing this? It’s also happening to the published version. 

Hey all, I am finally getting round to trialing out Code Connect, Figma MCP and the like to see how it all works and if there are any noticeable benefits to these features for my wider team.I had some issues initially setting up, but have finally gotten to the point where I can connect them to GitHub, for testing  purposes I am using the Figma Design System and corresponding coded components. However when connected, I get this error, and I am unsure how to fix it. Has anyone come across this before, and any advice on how to resolve? Thanks!  

I have successfully published my Figma Make before, but I went bananas and created a whole app in figma make. After 400 iterations, my project size is probably pretty large. Whenever I try to publish, it thinks for a long while before its saying that it has failed. I’ve also tried to look through other threads here to see what the common issues are but to no avail. To some extent ive tried to optimize the files using prompts, but sometimes it just destroys my app completely and I have to revert. Any ideas?

Hi Figma Community! I recently played the Letter Boxed game by NYT and was fascinated by how it emphasizes pattern recognition, strategic thinking, and creative problem-solving.I’m curious about exploring how similar game mechanics can inspire UX and design projects in Figma: Can pattern-based challenges like Letter Boxed be used as design exercises to improve layout, typography, or interaction thinking? How can strategic and lateral thinking from word games inform creative wireframing or prototyping? Does anyone here experiment with gamified design exercises or collaborative design games to boost creativity in teams? I’d love to hear your insights, examples, or tips on integrating playful problem-solving into UX/UI workflows.Thanks!

I have been thinking about how different apps handle data refresh and user feedback, especially when it comes to information that users expect to be accurate instantly. In design tools like Figma, small delays or unclear states are usually communicated well through loading indicators, sync messages, or manual refresh options, so users understand what is happening.On the other hand, I have noticed with some everyday apps, for example checking my FAB bank balance on mobile, that the information does not always update clearly and there is no obvious indication whether the data is current or cached. It made me curious from a product and UX perspective how teams decide when to auto refresh sensitive data versus requiring a manual action, and how designers communicate trust and accuracy without overwhelming the user.Are there best practices in interface design or state handling that help avoid this kind of confusion, especially for apps where users rely on up to date informa

The greyed out collections matches my real collection name, but not the number I have a “ghost” set of variable collections in my library file (greyed out, but i can see the variables).I cannot see any of my true “theming” colors in files that’s using this library. I think the ghost variable count is overriding the real collections.

Organization  A would like to do creative development in the Figma instance for Org A.  When their development is approved, they would then like to move it to Org B’s instance.  Org B is the source of truth for the current production creative.  While Org A will develop in Org A’s Figma, there will also be people directly developing in Org B’s instance.  Org A is not open to using a logically partitioned space on Org B’s instance and must use their own instance.Org A will need a sync of all production creative changes from Org B, so they can ensure they have the current creative to start with.  Is there a way to sync updated files between organizations?Is there anyway to do code versioning and control across the two instances?

Soy nuevo en el programa y tengo poco conocimiento respecto a como usar el programa. Sin embargo estoy tomando un curso por medio de Udemy el cual me esta ayudando a conocer las herramientas de FIGMA. en este momento tengo una duda respecto a las variables, pues al seleccionar un grupo de variables y querer duplicarlo no me permite realizar la acción y tengo que crear un nuevo grupo de manera manual, en lugar de duplicarlo. si doy doble click o utilizo los comando simplemente no sucede nada y no me arroja opciones. me gustaría saber como puedo solucionarlo o si es una herramienta que ya no esta disponible en el programa
