Just to clarify: My first answer was wrong. I’m sorry if in my haste and zeal I misled fellow bloggers. That incorrect answer required that two letters be changed, not one, something I did not recognize until later when I had thought about it further. However, I’m certain my subsequent answer is the intended one.
As for “ambiguous”—the word of the day—I stand by its conventional definition, “having more than one possible meaning.” The word “place” in the puzzle’s wording is clearly ambiguous.
