The clue
Beaten before the pan gets it, and what a hard question does to you, and where the fat lady leaves things.
The rack
Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.
E5P16O15E5R18B2L12F6T20S19T20T20R18V22M13T20U21A1
The answer
3 words, hitting 215 exactly: BATTER STUMP OVER.
B2A1T20T20E5R18= 66
+S19T20U21M13P16= 89
+O15V22E5R18= 60
BATTER 66 + STUMP 89 + OVER 60 = 215. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.
