The clue
One you promise but never deliver, one you become when you steal the show — and both lend their name to a light.
The rack
Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.
R18M13T20A1L12O15A1D4A1N14O15A1O15O15O15A1A1S19
The answer
2 words, hitting 115 exactly: MOON + STAR.
M13O15O15N14= 57
+S19T20A1R18= 58
MOON 57 + STAR 58 = 115. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.
