The clue
How the overprotected are wrapped, and the stage that only eats, and what a shelved project has been.
The rack
Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.
D4O15J10R18A1C3O15N14M13H8T20L12C3A1R18V22O15O15
The answer
3 words, hitting 175 exactly: COCOON LARVA MOTH.
C3O15C3O15O15N14= 65
+L12A1R18V22A1= 54
+M13O15T20H8= 56
COCOON 65 + LARVA 54 + MOTH 56 = 175. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.
