Reporting with SQL challenge task 1 of 1

I cannot get this query no matter how many times I try:

In an ecommerce database there's an orders table with the columns id, product_id, user_id, address_id, ordered_on, status and cost. Count the total number of orders that have the status of shipped today. Alias it to shipped_today.

In an ecommerce database there's an orders table with the columns id, product_id, user_id, address_id, ordered_on, status and cost. Count the total number of orders that have the status of shipped today. Alias it to shipped_today.

Try something like this:

select
count(*) shipped_today
from orders
where status = 'shipped today'

select count(*) as shipped_today from orders where status = 'shipped' and ordered_on= date('now');
