I think if we do not get the intended one then we must have some alternatives in our mind but it should be relevant as far as possible. A change of spelling by misspelling the word is one trick that some people use. For example one might be creating a blog for good coding practices and does not get the most obvious name like codelearn or learncode then one has to try the kode in place of code. It is worth trying sometimes.

When we ran a webshop, we used these:
1. Add a verb to your domain name.
2. Extend your brand in the URL.
And they were pretty legit tactics.

There is given below some advice when the domain name is not available:
Make a small change
If the exact domain name you want isn't available, a similar name may still be. Sometimes making a simple change will result in a name that's available. Remember: the keyword is simple.
Buy the Name
Domain names are bought, sold, and auctioned like any other property. If the domain name you want is being used on a successful, actively maintained commercial website, chances are slim the owner will sell it to you.
Assert Your Rights If You Already Own the Trademark
If you are already in business and want to use your existing business name as your domain name, you may have the upper hand in a dispute with someone who's already using the name online.
Add Your Country to the Domain Name
This is actually a pretty simple solution that works without you having to change the content of your domain name. You have a couple of options here and should use whatever makes the most sense.
Try to Buy Your Domain
This can easily be the trickiest and most expensive option on our list. The first thing you'll want to do is actually look up the domain you're searching for, starting by actually entering the URL. If it is taken you'll get one of three things.

You can do some things:
First, buy it. If you don't get the exact domain then get another one and add suffixes and prefixes to get new domain.
