Learners sometimes confuse "gaunt" with "haunt" because they look similar. "Gaunt" describes a very thin, bony appearance; "haunt" is a verb about ghosts or a place you visit often. Some learners also think "gaunt" simply means "tall"; it actually focuses on being extremely thin, often in an unhealthy way.
