The clue

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 151 exactly: AUTHOR NOVEL.
A1U21T20H8O15R18= 83
+N14O15V22E5L12= 68
AUTHOR 83 + NOVEL 68 = 151. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.
