I will respond as if speaking to a child.
Davey, it's called a "typographical error." Sometimes, people who are typing hit the wrong key. The letter "m" is next to the letter "n" on the keyboard, so it's an easy mistake to make.
Now, Davey, if a word seems wrong to you, try changing one letter to see if it's a typographical error. In this case, the writer clearly meant to say "longer." Can you say "longer," Davey? I knew you could!
I know how to talk to third-graders, but I fear this went over Davey's head.
