Hi @Breezybabe4u and welcome to our Community!
If you play on a mobile device the easiest (and only) way to restart from level 1 is to delete the app and download it again from App Store/ Google Play. Then DO NOT connect it to the same Facebook or King account that you used earlier. Create a new King account when you start the game and it will start form level 1.
The progress is saved on Facebook/ King account and if you connect to the account you used before it will jump to the level that you played before.
