I believe the setting you’re looking for is:
"editor.suggest.showWords": false
If you prefer the UI, you can also find it by doing the following
- Navigate the menus: click on –
File > Preferences > Settings
(or pressCtrl
+,
) - Type
Show Words
in the search box at the top - Uncheck the setting
Editor > Suggest: Show Words

That little text suggestion was very annoying. This is what worked for me. Hope it helps!
