 * Hi [@aerolin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aerolin/).
    Yes, you can check
   the checkbox “Show posts in random order?” to get the posts displayed in random
   order. It is the second checkbox below Display Options of the widget.

 * Hi,
 * Yes that I already have done. But my wondering is if there is possible to set
   a nummer of how many post I want to show. I will set a maximum to. 5 latest post.

 * [@aerolin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aerolin/) The way I understand
   this, you want to select the last 5 posts to get a series of random posts out
   of them. Right?
    No, this is not possible. Random means to get random posts of
   all posts. There is no limitation.
