The clue

What one team does to another in a rout, times what the tough are hard as.

The rack

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

H8M13S19A1M13E5S19U21R18R18O15L12A1T20I9L12O15N14

The answer

2 words, hitting 3190 exactly: HAMMER NAILS.

H8A1M13M13E5R18= 58
×N14A1I9L12S19= 55

HAMMER 58 × NAILS 55 = 3190. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.

A new puzzle every day.
