The clue
One creeps across a garden path, one is the elder whose word you would take — and a stuffing wants both.
The rack
Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.
M13I9G7Y25H8N14E5E5A1A1O15T20S19A1O15C3E5A1
The answer
2 words, hitting 103 exactly: THYME + SAGE.
T20H8Y25M13E5= 71
+S19A1G7E5= 32
THYME 71 + SAGE 32 = 103. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.
