This was in the starter kit. Level 1 high elf wizard with int mod +3. How does this character have 6 spells? I understand that one is a ritual, but it has 5 more and not 4? The spellbook shows 1) burning hands 2) detect magic(R) 3) mage armor 4) magic missile 5) shield 6) sleep. I had the same original question myself. This is a premade character sheet licensed by D&D.

While this might not be the case in the starter set you are looking at, in the official rules (the full Player's Handbook), 1st level wizards (PHB 114)are granted a spellbook containing 6 spells. They can then prepare wizard level + int modifier spells for casting (in this case, 4) using their 2 1st level spell slots.
Spellcasting/Spellbook
At 1st level, you have a spellbook containing six 1st-level wizard
spells of your choice.
Spellcasting/Preparing and Casting Spells
You prepare the list of wizard spells that are available for you to
cast. To do so, choose a number of wizard spells from your spellbook
equal to your Intelligence modifier + your wizard level (minimum
of one spell).
Without viewing the source you are referring to, it seems that the 6 spells listed come from spells known, from which the player must prepare 4 spells each day to actually have available to cast. Detect magic, being a ritual spell, can still be prepared and cast as a standard action using one of the two spell slots, or cast as a ritual, in which case it does not need to be prepared, and takes 10 minutes to cast.
In short, as far as I can determine, the character sheet is correct.
