Theme puzzle · theme: fish (also a voice and a shoe) · target 92. This puzzle has closed — today’s is here.
The clue
One is what a marching band thumps, one is the trader who works alone — and a fishmonger sells both.
The rack
Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.
S19S19D4L12A1S19O15O15S19E5L12O15A1B2D4C3O15E5
The answer
2 words, hitting 92 exactly: BASS + SOLE.
B2A1S19S19= 41
+S19O15L12E5= 51
BASS 41 + SOLE 51 = 92. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.
