The clue
A quick encounter or a quick sweep, and what the reckless do to the town, and the work that owns its wall.
The rack
Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.
H8O15A1R18A1B2T20M13B2S19I9P16N14N14U21U21L12R18
The answer
3 words, hitting 193 exactly: BRUSH PAINT MURAL.
B2R18U21S19H8= 68
+P16A1I9N14T20= 60
+M13U21R18A1L12= 65
BRUSH 68 + PAINT 60 + MURAL 65 = 193. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.
