oblong
Longer than wide
Oblong describes a shape that is longer than it is wide—a rectangle or oval stretched along one axis.
The word emphasizes elongation rather than precise geometry: an oblong table, an oblong face, an oblong pill.
As a noun, an oblong is any such shape: The pool was a perfect oblong.
