If you use a lot of words when a smaller number of words might be sufficient, someone might describe you as being 'wordy'. Here are some examples: - The book is wordy, and repetition of various concepts by different contributors and heaviness on quotations make it slow reading. - The play suffers from a wordy and lengthy first act which is, to my mind, unavoidably necessary in order to establish the characters. - Ben, I know that you asked for suggestions as a comment but you must know me by now - wordy, verbose and horribly convoluted.
