White to move.  Find white's best move.

I haven't a clue but I would play Qd5. Avoid the rook, defend the pawns, set up attack. Chess Vibes on YT has a "stump the chump" series. This would be a good one for it.

Take the rook with the queen as the pawn can’t take as it is pinned to the king with the bishop

Qxg6 is the correct move.  White captures the black rook for free.

This is a tactics problem, and instead of trying to solve it, you give some random legal move?

(Not to mention the fact that your random legal move is probably the worst, it loses the queen immediately.)
