Answer: False

Explanation: Slightly but intentionally misspelling a domain name with the hope that people accidentally arrive at the site when trying to type the URL of the real site is typosquatting.

Therefore registering a domain name that is similar to a trademark or domain name but that is slightly misspelled in hopes that individuals will accidentally arrive at the site when trying to type the URL of the legitimate site according to the question is Not Typohunting but TypoSquatting.

Typosquatting which is also called URL hijacking, and it is a form of cybersquatting which relies on typographical errors and other mistakes made by Internet users when typing a website address into a web browser.
