The clue
What a raisin used to be, and the charity-shop word for old but good.
The rack
Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.
A1L12A1N14G7O15R18T20I9P16G7H8T20R18V22E5A1E5
The answer
2 words, hitting 125 exactly: GRAPE VINTAGE.
G7R18A1P16E5= 47
+V22I9N14T20A1G7E5= 78
GRAPE 47 + VINTAGE 78 = 125. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.
