Well, it's played by children, and may be is the shorter one.
I think that one can fail even in the second "tiger" that way:

< un tigre, dos trigues... >

(the < u > of <gue> is ortographic and does not have sound).

in the third tiger one can fail in several ways:

<..., tres trigues >

<..., tres tigues >

<..., tes tigues >

<..., tres trigres>

or other ways.

Your second tongue-twister, yes, really a hard one.
