The clue
To finally catch on, and what a deadline does on the horizon, and a tale spun far too long.
The rack
Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.
O15N14L12T20C3N14O15N14T20I9R18A1Y25M13D4O15O15I9
The answer
3 words, hitting 200 exactly: COTTON LOOM YARN.
C3O15T20T20O15N14= 87
+L12O15O15M13= 55
+Y25A1R18N14= 58
COTTON 87 + LOOM 55 + YARN 58 = 200. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.
