The clue
Lay it on thick, and what the doomed are.
The rack
Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.
A1T20O15U21S19T20A1O15G7I9A1T20R18A1T20E5M13B2
The answer
2 words, hitting 161 exactly: BUTTER TOAST.
B2U21T20T20E5R18= 86
+T20O15A1S19T20= 75
BUTTER 86 + TOAST 75 = 161. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.
