I have seen two different ways to build Warlocks with Otherworldly Patrons. Lets take a 5th level warlock they get 6 known spells. The book reads u choose from warlock spell list and patron expanded spell list for those 6 spells. I have also seen choosing 6 spells from warlock spell list and automatically get the patron spells. So 12 spells ready. Which is the official version. thanks.

The extra patron spells are not automatically known, just considered part of the Warlock spell list for the purposes of being learnable. A 5th-level Warlock gets 6 known spells, period. Full stop. They don't get to add their patron spells to that total. They must choose to learn them like any other spell.

It's an easy mistake to make. By the time you get to warlock you've seen the other 4 classes add their subclass bonus spells the same way, you assume warlocks do it the same way and don't read it as carefully as you might.
