Question was: 'Next, declare a new variable named cancelled. Remove the last item from the orderQueue array and assign it to the variable cancelled. Use the array that method removes the last element from an array and returns it.'

Could someone help me what went wrong? Thank you!

Should look like this:

script.js 
const orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528'];
var shipping = orderQueue.shift();
var cancelled = orderQueue.pop();

In the question there is a error. Instead of this "Use the array that method removes the last element from an array and returns it." It should be "Use the array method that removes the last element from an array and returns it."

You have done everything perfect, just remove the return statement from your solution. As questions states that we have to use a method of array which removes the last element from the array and also returns that element. And pop is the correct choice for this.
