I often hear these words in anime:

Yokata (=thank godness, what a relief)

Wakata <and particle> (= know)


how do I spell these correctly ? And what do they mean exactly

よかった(良かった) Past form of よい which is another form of いい which means good
わかったわ=わ is a feminine ending that girls add sometimes to sound more womanly (is this what you were talking about?).
わかったが (分かった)=I understand but...が(stiff sounding)=けど(colloquial)=けれど(written style/formal)=but
わかった=understood/I understand.
