The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

LOL…. I didn’t know what VBO meant and had to look it up. Found an article titled, “Women are embracing their VBOs”.
Oh my goodness, I just looked back at the CG and realized the VBO letters were in there multiple times…. So that’s what you were referring too I guess. But strangely enough, in the article I mentioned finding, VBO was acronym for something that closely relates to the subject matter of the CG.
Ha!!!!
Think “Vaginosis”
Sorry. I am getting more terse with each passing year.
Good clue, thanks. Was struggling today until I saw that.
Endings of words is usually the last thing i look at. So it took me a while too.
No, nothing horrible like that. It’s gestation.
