Wat de puzzelcategorieën ons vertellen

" Then: "Connections #1152's categories include “Classic wooden toys” (ALPHABET BLOCKS, CUP-AND-BALL, JACOB'S LADDER, LINCOLN LOGS) and “Places with nets” (BARCLAYS CENTER, FISHING BOAT, HOCKEY RINK, TENNIS COURT). The latter includes Barclays Center, a venue tied to crypto sponsorships like Crypto.com's arena naming rights. That connection is easy to miss, but it highlights how crypto branding has become normal in mainstream sports — even as regulators eye those deals." Dutch: "De categorieën van Connections #1152 omvatten 'Klassiek houten speelgoed' (ALPHABET BLOKS, CUP-AND-BALL, JACOB'S LADDER, LINCOLN LOGS) en 'Plaatsen met netten' (BARCLAYS CENTER, VISBOOT, HOCKEYBAAN, TENNISBAAN). De laatste omvat Barclays Center, een locatie die verbonden is met crypto-sponsoring zoals de naamgevingsrechten van Crypto.com voor de arena. Dat verband is gemakkelijk te missen, maar het benadrukt hoe crypto-branding normaal is geworden in de reguliere sport — zelfs terwijl toezichthouders deze deals in de gaten houden." We need to translate the items: "ALPHABET BLOCKS" -> "ALPHABETBLOKKEN" but we can keep the English? The original has them in caps, but we can translate? The requirement says "Translate naturally" but also "Keep proper nouns (names, company names) in original form". These are category items, not proper nouns. We should translate them. But they are specific toy names: "Alphabet blocks" -> "Alfabetblokken", "Cup-and-ball" -> "Beker en bal" or "Cup-and-ball" is a game, but we can translate as "Beker-en-bal" or "Cup-and-ball" is known? Actually in Dutch it's "beker en bal" or "vangen met een beker". But to keep it simple, we can translate: "ALFABETBLOKKEN", "BEKER-EN-BAL", "JACOBSLADDER" (Jacob's ladder is a toy, in Dutch "Jakobsladder" or "Jacobsladder"), "LINCOLN LOGS" is a brand name, but it's a toy, we can keep as "LINCOLN LOGS" because it's a proper noun? Actually it's a brand, so we keep it. Similarly "BARCLAYS CENTER" is a proper noun, keep. "FISHING BOAT" -> "VISBOOT", "HOCKEY RINK" -> "HOCKEYBAAN" (or "ijshockeybaan" but hockey rink is for ice hockey, so "ijshockeybaan" but we can say "hockeybaan" if context is clear), "TENNIS COURT" -> "TENNISBAAN". So we'll translate those. But the original has them in caps, we can keep caps or not? We'll keep them in caps as in original. Also "Crypto.com's arena naming rights" -> "de naamgevingsrechten van Crypto.com voor de arena" or "de arena-naamgevingsrechten van Crypto.com". We'll use "de naamgevingsrechten van Crypto.com voor de arena". Next: the market snapshot div. We need to translate the text inside, but keep the HTML structure and styles. The text: "Market Data Snapshot"
