The clue
The tree that bends but never breaks, and what the catty throw.
The rack
Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.
L12E5R18H8A1D4O15O15L12D4L12S19E5S19I9Y25W23W23
The answer
2 words, hitting 131 exactly: WILLOW SHADE.
W23I9L12L12O15W23= 94
+S19H8A1D4E5= 37
WILLOW 94 + SHADE 37 = 131. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.
