I have a level 7 Arcana Cleric who just got access to level 4 spells.
I've found a bug that creates a spell called SECRET CHEST, with the exact same description, cost, components, and everything else from Leomund's Secret Chest.
Technically they're the same spell. The names come from actual player characters, mostly from the Greyhawk campaign played by Gary Gygax and company. As such one of the nameless versions exist in the free version of the rules, while the named versions exist in the Player's Handbook.

You will notice the trend that the PHB versions of the spells have the name of the character that created them, so they had to (or at least decided to) remove them for the free versions.

It basically comes down to copyright reasons. There are a couple of spells that are effected like this:
