It is confusing when duplicating questions.

I put the question on again as I had spotted a mistake in the original question.
This looks like a Vigenère square code with SOLVE as the key word.
It appears that upper/lower case is irrelevant
Write SOLVE repeatedly under the cipher text and look up the plaintext result from the square. For example
ZHHCnyKJHqBLDIEzKt..
SOLVESOLVESOLVESOL.. yields;
THETRUECOORDINATES...
So the message starts The true co-ordinates are...

Calibax you are a star. I only have one more cipher to solve and then I am home free. Please could you help me with this one if it is ok with you?

The code is:

vo oq oq pg oq vg ls gc gf tn pu zl le zm gf ds cg fr vh pv gp ep fn wg yn yf yu nd dx ru ep ck tp rv qo py ik ny kg ly

(XRLJBEQ = CHMMYR)

Hi Red - When I saw the list of digraphs with no double letters I thought that this was a Playfair code but these are usually coded with a key that has no repeated letters. If you ignore the second Z however and use PUZLE as the key then it works and makes the Playfair square;
PUZLE
ABCDF
GHJKM
NOQRS
TVWXY

J stands for both I and J in this code.
So
vo oq oq pg oq vg ls translates as
oh no no ta no th er
So the message begins Oh no not another....
I'll let you do the rest. If you're not familiar with Playfair it's easy to Google.
