    In philadelphiae habitas is also logical?

      No, here we have a locative. The locative case was almost gone, only used with cities, small island, domus, rus, and humus. I might have missed a word or two. You don't use in with the locative.

      'habitas Philadelphiae' should also work with Latin's flexible word order.

      Should In Philadelphia (ablative of place) be accepted here?

      I have the same question. It was not accepted when I tried it.

        You misspelt the name of the city.

            I wrote “vos Philadelphiae habitatis”. Why is that wrong? The prompt did not specify plural or singular

            It's not wrong.
