The answer is of course long-winded, but this would fit better on a gaming and puzzles sites.

The OED also provides long-lunged as a synonym of long-winded. Which one you want will depend on just where the other words in your crossword puzzle cross this one.

You won’t be able to use the synonyms long-breathed, long-tongued, or longiloquent because they have too many letters for your boxes, while longsome has too few.

    If there's sufficient space for all of those words to fall and come to rest a short distance below the speaker's mouth, it might be long-chinded.
