The link above describes the other way around (static front page).
However, I hope it will help you to understand the mechanism, it’s pretty easy.
In your case, you need to create a home.php file in your theme folder, and then go to settings >> read >> and instead of setting “start (front-page.php)” as your start page, set the reading option to “Show last blog posts”.
WordPress will use that home.php file then and show your last posts as a front page.
I highly recommend installing “What the file” which will show which template you are using. (see the link I’ve posted)
So, front-page.php will be static front page (if set under settings > read).
The file home.php will show blogposts (if set under settings > read).
Clear? I hope that helps.
Please accept the answer as correct if I could help. Thanks.
