The Wayward Queen Attack 1 e4 e5 2 Qh5 is definitely not the best chess opening.
As the Ruy Lopez is the opening of choice of e.g. Nepomniachtchi against Carlsen in his classical World Championship match, then it is certainly best too against lesser opponents and faster time control.

The best opening move has already been solved.

The move is 1.e4

It was Solved by the Great Legendary chess player Bobby Fischer who quotes “1.e4 is Best by Test”

italian, queen's gambit, colle system, and scotch gambit

are all legit

I agree but for beginners who are like in the range of 100-400 it is a good opening.
