webform contact form gives access denied for anonymous users

I have a few webforms on my D8 site. They all work for anonymous site visitors except for the contact form, which gives an "access denied" error.

The permissions under the form's Settings->Access tab are the same as for other forms that do work.

The form's access permissions are set to allow anonymous / authenticated / admin users to create and view/ update own submissions: Create submissions: Roles: anonymous user, authenticated user, administrator

View/ Update Own Submissions: anonymous, authenticated, administrator

I did search for the solution but what I found didn't help. I tried the debugging code from https://drupal.stackexchange.com/a/315766 and get the following messages:

The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.

Exception: ACCESS DENIED: in *Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\AccessDeniedHttpException->__construct() (*line 28 of /path/to/vendor/symfony/http-kernel/Exception/AccessDeniedHttpException.php).

I don't know what this all means. Where do I go from here? Thank you.
