The clue

The rack
Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.

The answer
2 words, hitting 140 exactly: CIRCUS CLOWN.
C3I9R18C3U21S19= 73
+C3L12O15W23N14= 67
CIRCUS 73 + CLOWN 67 = 140. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.
