The clue

Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.
R18A1I9R18U21I9P16C3E5O15U21M13M13J10M13S19T20G7
The answer
3 words, hitting 178 exactly: SUMMIT ROPE CRAG.
S19U21M13M13I9T20= 95
+R18O15P16E5= 54
+C3R18A1G7= 29
SUMMIT 95 + ROPE 54 + CRAG 29 = 178. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.
