The clue

What hard jobs are 'no', and what the hopeless are a case of.

The rack

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 112 exactly: PICNIC BASKET.

P16I9C3N14I9C3= 54
+B2A1S19K11E5T20= 58

PICNIC 54 + BASKET 58 = 112. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.

A new puzzle every day.
